It wasnt at an actual field trial,, but at a training day for field trialers.
I was invited to join in! I had been maybe two or three times previously. Very green,and very slf concious and nervous.
I was asked to go out and throw a dead bird! Being new,, it seemed like I was in the next county from the line! very far away,,and still couldnt believe you had to use radios to communicate, instead of just yellin!, but anyways,,, this gruff guy comes to the line, and starts to call for his birds,, it get to me,,, the go bird,,and I throw as best I could! It was a pretty good throw fer me! I was proud!
All of a sudden,, I hear this gruff guy start cussin at the top of his lungs,, 'GOD D@#$ it Mike,, get yer arse in here!!!..... God Da^$ it,,,, get in here!! He was REALLY PEEVED!!!
I was totally freaked out,, gathered up my chair,, my shiny new training pistol,, and started off across the field to get back to the line!! I was scared shi$less! I didnt know what the he!! I"d done,, but it clearly wasnt good!! The guy started to come out to meet me,, when all of a sudden,, the Pro came over the radio,,and said NOT YOU MIKE,, go back and sit down! The guys DOG is named MIKE!!!
I is such a dumb arse!!
I could hear them all laughing at me 300 yrds away!!! I didnt care,, but felt HORRIBLE for how his DOG must have felt!!
I literally peed myself!!
