Good Morning Calvin ,Your'e dead right on trusting your Dog if he's proven himself in the past ,Two Buddies and myself were out on Monday ,Old chip locked up tighter than a drum right along the woods edge and a very short grass field . I took a good look of the area and went into the sparse little clumps of briar to flush ,nothing out of the first ,or the next etc.etc etc., Once Chip sets point ,he generally won't move until given the " Release Command " I did and he wouldn't budge ,I said Release again and touched him on top of his head ,he still wouldn't move ???? I told my Buds ,he generally doesn't lie and started a good search of the area ,I happened to look into the woods and there sure enough backed up against a small oak about 20 yards away was the old pheasant ,sitting tight and trying to pretend it wasn't there well I would like to tell you we got him ,but not the case ,I told my Buddy Rich ,stand out in the open ,I will circle the tree ,he will probably flush dead at you let him go by and take him going away !!!! Everything worked great ,except for my Buddy
,Of course we didn't rib him !! As for the Trojan ,I don't own the gun any more ,I hadn't carried it for some time and decided to let her go ,the good news ,one of our Fellow Mebers has it tucked away in his safe ! Russ
