I disagree that an AKC Hunt test is not as challenging as a field trial.
My experience is in AKC pointing dog hunt tests, so this is what I am referring to.
A master hunter is a completely finished dog that can hunt with anyone.
A master hunter will be absolutely steady to wing and shot, AND retrieve your bird to hand in good condition, with minimal commands. He will also honor another dog on point and not move until you release him.
I think the real game should be a timed event, let’s say 45 minutes.
You get only 5 shells, there are birds set for you. The winner is the one who comes back with the most birds.
