I had an interesting weekend.
I am tired.

I hate "Black Cloud" ammo.

Hunt tests set ups are for wusses!!!!!

Ducks are mean, evil smart asses!!!

OK......

#1----I used "Black Cloud" loads.
First shot jams ejecting.
I am digging shell out with leatherman tool, 3 woodies land in the decoys!!!!
I get the shell out, lock and load and as they flew away the little bastards are laughing, not quacking (I know they don't quack I am using literary license).

LAUGHING I tell ya!!!

#2--No more whining about tough blinds in hunt tests!!!!

I knocked down a Woodie, it glides about 200+ yards and hits the cattails/swamp.
We are standing in mud and water to my knees, with weeds to my waist.
Neither of us know exactlty where the bird is, a double blind so to speak.
I sends Elvis and he tears ass out, gets a ways out and pops, looks at me like WTF??
I am handling him to the downwind side of where I think the bird is.
I keep pushing him back in this crap while I have climbed up on a muskrat platform so he can see me.

At about 225+ he gets a nose full.
I see his tail going, I let him finish.
I hear all kinds of splashing and thrashing, I can't see Elvis, then here he comes, bird in mouth, chest pumped out!!

So, we probaly get a 0 in a hunt test, but 1 we got 1 Woodie in the bag.
And I am proud of his work.

Awesome Stan! You gotta love the real stuff instead of the games! Sounds like Elvis made a real tough retrieve for you. You should be one proud dude! I don't think my dog will have to ever worry about making a 200 yd retrieve on a woodie. None of my wood duck holes are that big! Good luck whenever you get back out.

I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY!!!
