Double goes down, get the flyer, do the blind close behind the flyer guns then get the retired bird. 25 Starters with 16 called back for tomorrow for the water blind. 3rd Series: lots of challenges for this blind. gunner on the shore on the left shoots and throws a dead poison bird. (this means you are not to pick it up but to no your dog off it turn to the right and then do the blind, never picking up the throw bird--- oh sure!). After sending for the blind, the dogs are down into cover headed to water and out of sight. There is a swim then up on a wide point totally, then back into the water, stay away from the cove and the poison bird, reasonable length swim and up and back about 60 yards to the blind. Only 8 dogs of 16 got through satisfactorily to be called to the water marks 4th Series: Here we go--Double retired guns on the right side of the pond, up the shore, with birds landing tight angle back up on the land.
