First point
Got my Brittany, Caen, on his first official point this past weekend. He had been doing great for me with planted birds back in October, before I got too busy at my cotton gin, and I hadn't really had a chance to work him on birds since. I took him with me to a quail hunt down in Thomasville, and I realize those birds were planted too, but it was his first "hunt".
We let him out of the kennel and he insisted that I get off and walk with him as he had never hunted in front of a truck before. I didn't mind! I left my gun in the truck and had the remote in hand as I had three other shooters to do the dirty work. He locked up on point and held all the way till the flush. After that, chaos reigned, but I was tickled anyway! I put him down for several other covey rises that day and he never busted a covey, though he did run over one single quail and bust him.
It was my first hunt with him and my 28 gauge Repro Parker, and other than a sharp front trigger, I was ecstatic with both of them!
Also, forgive the sideways picture, it was correct until I uploaded it and I cannot figure out how to rotate it back now.
