AMATEUR rotation: 20 34 48 5

Amateur landmarks were a triple with two retireds. Birds were shot #1 left retired at 250 yards thrown in front of a large brush pile, #2 long retired at 350 yards thrown angle back towards sparse trees, #3 flyer on right at 200 yards shot to the right or straight back. All pheasants.

Landblind was a crosswind blind run across the marking area. Flyer crate was quite a ways to the right of the line to the blind. There were a couple of "goal post slots" to hit along the way .

Callbacks after landmarks: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 11 12 14 17 18 19 20 21 24 29 31 32 33 34 35 36 45 53 56 (26 back).

Waterblind was a down the shore with a strong crosswind. Up front there was a gunner sitting at the edge of the water that created a slot where the dog was to enter. Dogs pushed off the gun and this caused several casts by most handlers to get the dog through the slot. Terrain was rolling, so the dogs disappeared before the water and again right after they exited the water.

Water triple, two retireds. Long bird at noon position, a dead hen pheasant at 350 yards--tough going in deep cover, swimming through a large pond--provided the dog doesn't quickly cheat to the shore as many dogs did. Background for this bird is an oil pumping station so there is a lot of "stuff" behind this gun and a gravel parking lot where the dogs can hunt. Short retired dead duck at 10:00 position, 250 yards thrown sharp angle back against a dark background of cedars--required a long swim across the pond. The pond is full of Susie's pet ducks which just keep swimming around--they won't fly away. Some dogs are swimming through the ducks. There is a lot of room to get lost between the long retired and the short retired, and the dogs end up in no man's land if they cheat the water twice and go to the right of both of these marks. The flyer is to the left at 125 yards, shot over water and sleuced. Due to the strong wind, this duck is going everywhere--up on land, or right behind the gun station and blown to the shoreline--very difficult flyer for most of the dogs. The dogs that don't find the birds, end up being lost and are picked up. National judges Loren Morehouse and Dave Seivert have been putting us through tough setups all weekend.

Unofficial callbacks. If you have questions, please ask the marshal on Sunday morning. Remember to "spring forward" for Daylight Savings Time. We start at 8 a.m. at the same location.
