Went out this morning with the pup for the first time. The 100 birds that were using the field last night were a no show this morning. Had one flock of four bust us and another flock of 7 land in the decoys right in front of the pup. He held true in his blind and let me sit up, flush them, and bust two without budging. NOW his first retrieve wasn't the prettiest but we'll get that worked on asap. Sounds like you guys are def on the birds!
