Bruce, your thread sure started the old juices flowing. I picked my two setters who just turned one this month. They were at "camp" getting daily training on birds for the past month. It was pretty hot/humid Sat. and some guys started opening up with their AR's on the rifle range, and that made the dogs a little more jumpy than normal. While Ernie was out planting the birds, I saw some loose training quail run across the path, so I worked the Black Willow aka" Willie" over that way and she hit a nice point. At the flush, she did break, but only moved a few feet. She did fine on the planted pigeons also. 'Doodle also performed well and we later had a nice point backed by Willie, but couldnt get both dogs in the picture. I do believe they will do fine during bird season.
