Ok,I'll start.
I have a pretty big dog,infact he is too big! 107lbs and lean.
Anyway,my dog Jack and I are out hunting,I am particular about the ducks I shoot.I like the bigger ducks Gadwall,Widgeon,Pintail and Mallards.I try and stay away from the teal,we have lots of teal whereI hunt. Truth be known,I don't shoot em because they are really hard to hit.
It was a slow day for big ducks,I had arlready passed on enough teal for a limit.I could see the writting on the wall for this day and decided if I was gonna shoot anything it was gonna be teal. Jack was sitting on his stand,out of the water(best thing I have ever done was to get him up on a stand,he really pays attention) a cinamon teal flys by,I shoot and kill it stone dead.It fall in a big clump of tulies(not cattails Shane) Jack has a good mark so I send him.He took a perfect line busted through the tulies,then I heard that unmistakeable sound a dog make when they pick up a bird,kinda snorting.So I whistle him back,he comes out of the tulies.....no duck!! I stop him,give him a back command and back in the tulies he goes,he comes out again,the same thing no duck!! this goes on three more times he goes in and comes out with no duck!!
Well I am pretty upset,I bring him back,sit him on the stand,I'm so mad I can't even look at him.A few minutes go by,I look over at Jack,his head is hanging low and he is looking at me with sad eyes.I felt no sympathy for him and said "Well",as soon as I said the word well,he spit the teal out on the stand!! He had the whole duck in his mouth,no feathers,nothing showing.I felt a little silly.
