MOSBY
This once little fellow had his first hunt today so I did not know what to expect. It has been so hot I had not taken him and with lots of shooting I was worried. Went yesterday morning and was soaking wet with sweat by 7 a.m but got my limit of 15 with the DHE 16. So I decided to let Mosby go on his first hunt today and was he excited. I had shot around him a lot while he was inside and last week broke him into the .410 when the dummy dove was thrown. Let him sample a couple of real birds from last weekend with practice retrieves on Labor Day.
Took the 20 Trojan and not a lot of birds but Mosby retrieved all seven, a couple with a little assistance when I killed a double and he only concentrated on the first one. By the time I left he was watching every twitty bird in the sky and wanted to go get them, excited at the prospect of them falling!
I had tried to get him to retrieve a couple of geese I brought home on Labor Day, but he said man, they are too big. We'll see what he does with them this fall.
