Fifth Series completed

75 Dogs to run Fifth Series.

Fifth Series - Land Triple

The Fifth Series was located at Buhl field, 14 miles east of Hibbing on Hwy. 169. Weather - over cast sky, temp 60 degrees,
winds 10-15 miles per hour coming from the north/northeast, becoming partly cloudy at 2:30 pm with a northeast wind.

The test was a Land Triple with an honor and was run from the top of the hill looking south. First bird down was the right bird (retired) thrown to the right at 250 yards from the line. The line took the dog down the hill into heavy, heavy swamp grass cover over a small running creek. Obstacles included high brush and a mound that were located to the left of the line.

Second bird was the left hand flyer station with a rooster pheasant thrown and shot to the right. The line was 180 yards down the hill and up on the far ridge with the bird landing in more heavy cover.

Last bird down was a short middle indent at 80 yards thrown to the right on the back side of the running creek.

Dogs had trouble on the right hand retired bird. Most dogs were being pushed to the left by the heavy cover past the bird, resulting in long hunts to the right through heavy cover where the handler lost sight of the dog. At times the dog could not be seen until it picked up the bird. Many dogs handled and there were some pickups. The later dogs had less trouble with the right-hand bird as a path was formed through the swamp grass.

52 Dogs were called back to the Sixth Series. 23 Dogs were dropped.
