Not sure if I posted this in the wrong thread already, but I'll try again.
For the third day in a row, Gus and I went teal hunting. Today, we took a grad student who downed a bird that swam across the pond and eventually climbed up the bank and into heavy cover. As this was only the third day of Gus's duck hunting career, I had to wade over to get him started, but birds in the tall grass have no chance against him, and he found this one up high where I never would have thought it would go. Gus has, however, trained me to believe in him, so I did, and it all worked out.
Right now, his biggest limitation is getting past the idea that decoys are not there for him to retrieve.
