This is a great example of a difficult master hunt test. It shows the challenge of scenting conditions when a hen pheasant is used, even on the go bird (last bird down). This dog sticks to the area of the fall, has a big hunt, but figures it out on his own. Then, he continues on and does a great job retrieving two memory marks, diversion bird and a blind retrieve.
The use of the grounds and terrain are maximized and all gun stations are well hidden. Very open to comments and perspectives of the use of hen pheasants for hunt tests or field trials!
