Big Flyer Hunt...Handle...Pickup



...in the process for #50...oh, things are looking up...we'll see.

Nope, the hunt continued...quite an effort, but he couldn't come up with it. Now is handling...now has the bird. 

Sadly, this dog is hot, and certainly his memory has been sorely damaged on the next two birds. He broke down going for the next bird and a handle quickly changed to a pickup.

Nice effort to go this far...good job, and that's a tough break on that flyer hunt.
