you'll be late, and i bet gator gotta work that weekendy. thats 2 defiently for the SUCK category.
Im thinking brother gene needs to pull the camper down, and we go all mexican again. Im thinking we need to send our entries in next week, so we get to actually run the day the damn thing starts. Im thinking, if someone goes by the goofy hat store, pick up a couple of those dat jimmy wears (those womb raider hats), since hes gonna be doing the camp a thon thingy too. btw, brother jimmy just turned 50, so when you see him tell him happy birthday, but say it loud so his old booty can hear it.
ronnie is judging. wondering if like 6 of us can pile in his room and sleep on the floor like a weekend hunt test! bwhahahahaha. travis

I noticed that too Chuck. Mental error to take eye off dog to put down bird.

It looks like the wind was swirling a little and coming from left to right...I'm only guessing that from how that bird drifted though.
I wasn't there, but it looks like those marks weren't horrible in themselves. Challenging terrain for sure, those islands don't look like fun to climb over.....but then looking at that blind down-the-shore.....ha! Now the plot thickens!
Nice test....

the marks looked like nothing. nothing at all. from the gallery, at the line, heck even when you where handling. but they sure did to the dogs... I always like it when something LOOKS like a peice of cake, and then dogs start proving ya wrong. It was a good test, long (the video is 6 minutes, and he didnt pick up 2 of the birds). It could have been shortened dramatically had you run from the waters edge, instead of on top of that moutain. but then again, itd been a different test. That test changed with every wind, and every sun postion, and is the EXACT defintion of atmopshric condtions. McClendon and his co judge, where rooting for every freggin dog. You love to run a blind in the grand, and here your judges go Oh man what a cast! good dog.... and so on as you running a blind ya cant see the back 20% on. it was cool, and i thank them for their time. travis

Cat,
The first day that test was run with a 30 mph wind in your face blowing the left mark up on the shore and then you had to run the DTS blind blowing your dog on the shore. Not sure of the final #'s but it took out alot...alot of the dogs on the first day! t
