My girl Bella's light bulb went on this week and I could not be happier!!
On Sunday in some fresh snow she was running downwind of small strip of grass between two bean stubble fields and locked up only 50' from the truck. She did not hold the point very long before the birds busted (5 hens), but I was pretty pumped to see a point on a wild bird at 5 months of age!!
Fast forward to Monday night when I took her for a quick walk after work. We were working a small cattail slough in a corn stubble field. We worked it pretty good and I were almost to the truck when I stopped and waited for Bella to catch up, she had worked out aways and was now headed towards me on a deer trail. She got within a couple feet and stopped. To my amazement she was on point, looking towards my feet. I let her point for a bit, then moved my left foot, and a rooster busted out of the waist high cover. I shot it and marked it in the cattails. As I worked my way though the slough I could hear Bella on her way to the bird and we both arrived at the same time!!
It is pretty cool to see a pup start to put all the puzzle pieces together!!
