Banks first hunt!

Post by Double Shot Banks » Sat Sep 21, 2013 7:00 pm

Had a decent hunt today!
Our first choice pond was taken, but plan b worked out better than expected.
Banks was nervous of all the shooting at first, but after he retrieved the first duck the light turned on. No problem keeping him steady, sat right by me the whole time. He retrieved 5 out of 6 ducks (one was wounded and the dog was in the truck). one of them was alive and went underwater a few times getting away from him and he still got it.
Really proud to see it all payed off.
Isaac and Banks

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Good job Isaac - glad to see Banks is handling well. He'll surely be awesome by the end of this season if you keep on him!

Issac This made me smile. Glad all the work you and Banks have done is paying off. You have done great.
The best part of training is seeing the light come on in your little prot'eg'e.
