So I took my three year and a half year old dog on his first duck hunt today. I did his basic obedience stuff and basic retrieval stuff and hand signals just for fun and to burn off his energy. He’d never been on birds or in a hunting situation before ever, just orange or white bumpers in the mowed grass in the yard.
His first bird he needed a little encouragement to understand I wanted him to bring it to me but he figured it out and delivered it to hand. He then proceeded to retrieve the next 11 ducks we shot with no issue or prompting. Truly impressed with him. We ended the day with four ducks on the pond and he went and got them all! Huge shout out to Warren!
