Just curious. In March, I took my dog hunting at a "Happy Jack's" bird farm where they put out a lot of hen phez. She seemed to be having trouble scenting the hens.
My dog (Lab) had been on two trips (2 diff seasons) of several days each of hunting wild roosters in SD and had performed extremely well. She found and flushed many wild birds and retrieved every bird I saw go down in heavy cover.
Is there something about hens in general or hens in the spring that is a difficulty for dogs to scent?
Regards
Chuck
