Boo and I went out this morning for her first duck hunt. She was very excited, but was surprisingly easy to calm. After setting out decoys and Boo going for a little pre-dawn swim, we settled in only a few minutes before first light. Right at shooting time, a group of mallards came in and it was "go-time". Boo hit the water and swam hard right to the duck, grabbed him and brought him right back. A little while later, 2 mallards came in and both went down. Boo went right to work. She picked one up, and with a little coaxing she ignored the other bird and came back to shore. She was so excited when she gave me the bird that she totally forgot about the other one, so I had to try to direct her out to get it. After a bit, she remembered and went straight out to where the bird was and brought it back. The other 3 birds were all land retrieves, and she did pretty well finding them.
