Handling for #74... Double Handle.


...Jim Powers is handling #74 from well right of the boat.  

He is now hunting left in the field for the long bird....now handling again. 

In this photo,  Jim and the Judges exchange feelings about the trial. A veteran handler and National winner, Jim knows his double handle is the end of the road for this year.
