Depends on how good your club is at cooling and reusing the flyers. Our club takes the flyers out of the field to cool before using them as dead birds. This will keep them useable longer.
Started 20 birds per day
Seasoned 30 birds per day
Finished 40 birds per day
And it breaks my heart every morning I have to gas perfectly good flyers............... What a waste
This year it's going to be different, the past two years we have bought shot flyers from a FT club for half the cost for our land series and live birds for our water series, this year I want to have a training night on Thursday befor the test and shoot some of the live birds, let them cool and use them on Sat. might as well try and get something out of the live birds, and will be good for some of the dogs as well some of these HRC dogs have never had a live flyer shot for them..
We figure 1 1/2 per dog for HRC tests if there is no flyer. 2 per dog if there is.-Paul
