Rooster was probably one of the longer shots I have taken in some time. Landed blind over a hill along a cattail infested creek a bit too deep for me to cross. Bird was pointed close but did not establish it was a rooster right away because of the sun. I walked up a few hundred yards and came back around ... dog had the bird and was headed my way.
A nine-year-old Brittany is an absolute bird finding, bird pinning, bird pointing and downed bird machine. Sidenote: Rides inside (always) and lives inside too.
