kewl ideal for a thread. I'm more torn up than a lil black boys bike right now, so bear with the typo's.
West tennessee water blind, down the shore, past a point dogs just picked a bird up on. One of those days theres a whole lot of getting someone to shoot on the honor. Rowdy was maybe 2.5. Kicked him off on the water blind, and was just a lil fat approaching the point (still in window, I could have let him keep that line past the point). Blew whistle (he turns left, point on right), and gave him an angle back onto the point. Jeff brewer asked me whut the hell I was doing. I told him if he dont cast off that point, he aint no dog and Ill pick him up. Jeff says, boy dem 2 handed back cast gonna do you in. Put him on the point, silent left back off the point 40 yards to the bird. if you'd had a cuss cup put up, you cudda collected from everyone there when a collective 'sheeeeettttttt' came from the crowd.
north texas frog pond test. He left the stand with such a squeel, one of the bird boys asked on the radio if the dog got hurt. After our run, jim hodges and bob b said rowdy and bossman (who ran before him) where the best 2 runs... out of the 250 times they had ran it already.
deep east texas mothers day. 88 yard down the shore water blind. when I lined him up, I knew he was going to line it. I kicked him off and put my hands in my back pocket. oh taylor made ran in front of me, and got the pass for his grand title. they threw him in the lake. the gallery went crazier for rowdy lining that blind, than for his grand title. I actually failed that test, one of only 5 ever on marking and memory (toughest land marks I ever ran a 90 yard double, and a jacked up young dog blowing over the go bird on water). But Ill never forget that waterblind, neither will anyone that saw it. 3 whistles was the best job done on it, besides rowdys.
500 point run for the youngest dog record, with ronnie harwell & linda brewer as my judges, 6 of rowdys littermates in the flight. Killed the water test that was set up for me to 'get my moneys worth'. Killed the land marks. Called my shot on the blind like babe ruth with the outfield wall. Knocked the pole over and still had my hands in my back pocket. Linda was one of the first people I met in this, and I remember thinking thats the second coolest lady on the face of the earth. 10 years later, i still think that. She also owned rowdys daddy. Ronnie owns rowdys brother, is one of my best friends, and loveed me and my dog so much he had taken rowdy to south carolina 16 hours away with josh and johnny just to sneak in an extra test and make sure we had the record covered, and him and troy took me to north indiana on labor day weekend that same month cause I couldnt get into a test in la. Actually my premium was on my wifes desk when hurricane elvis came thru. And janet offered me a spot since I didnt get in, but by that time the indiana trip had come up. So having your friends do stuff like that, for your record, welp, it was cool.
Hunting, I remember a 30 mph wind, and 5 specs sneaking in at legal. we flipped 4 of them over, 2 dead on the outside in the deeks, one flipped and fell probably 100 yards thru the deeks and slightly right, and the other had a busted wing and thru deeks out of site in the early morning grey. Knew the direction, knew it was dead. Kicked rowdy off, he ran between the 2 dead ones in deeks, towards the last bird down that went to right that he saw. Blew a whistle, he stoppeed and looked, and I said quietly, leave it, and gave a left back cast. he ran out of sight follwoing that cast into the dark. Came back with a very much alive speck, and then proceded to pick up his triple of dead specks.
I remember shooting teal one morning. Killed 4 or 5 in the deeks outta the first wave. They where left of us, no big deal, just picking up dead ducks in the deeks. Sent rowdy till they where all picked up, he delviered the last and set up looking out to the right. Nobody saw a bird go down out there. But he was determined. So I sent him. He angles 3 levees, bout 100 yards starts hunting. Nobody saw a bird out there, but hey, you dont argue with the rowdy dogg on where a bird is. Directly, he spooks it up and its game on. Hes chasing this teal, its diving, flopping, really giving him a run for it. The chase goes on 5 minutes, before it slides over a levee and gets some distance on the dog. Rowdy finally figgers out hes been had, picks up the scent at the levee and is chasing the bird now back toward the pit. chases it back toward the pit, when they finally get to the last levee in front of the pit, we can see the bird to shoot, but cant because hes on its trail. So the teal finally sees us, blocking its escape, so it manages to take flight, straight at us. As it flushes, rowdy sits, I shoot the bird over the top of the pit. Rowdy watches it go down, and as I send him I think hes going arounf the pit. Not a chance, he jumps over the pit on the way to the teal.
First timber hunt... he just turned a year old. Sitting on his tree stand quietly taking it all in. Not my gig, so I dont shoot first. greenie comes by me right at legal, past troy, and over the top of the 2 guys whos gig it is who are standing next to a big peice of buckbrush. they both shoot and kill the duck. I send rowdy, he arches off the stand squeeling with delight, and procedes to split those 2 guys on the way to the bird, effectivly crashing their buckbrush hiding place. Later I snap shoot a pair of woodies, one of them landing in the current going out of sight, and handle him off the dead one, to the current one and he gets both. At breakfast those guys where telling me they where laughing at him earlier that morning, cause they had never seen a dog be quiet and still, they assumed he didnt know what was going on. They said when I cut him loose, it sounded like a tazmaian devil loose in those woods.
Always love sending him off the 4 wheeler to quater a ditch for crips, and me ride the upwind side. When they dont fly, he gets them and returns to the 4 wheeler. When they do fly, he sits, and I shoot them. And he fetches and returns to the 4 wheeler. I like taking guests with me on a cripple sweep like that, cause aint nobody ever seen something like a black dog that'll sit to flush on a cripple speck! travis

proud moments
my first HR title, with the first dog I ever ran a HT with, Dusty... we worked like hell to get that title.
Dusty is a hunting machine. Many, many times that dog crossed 80 acre fields to pick up a sailing cripple b/c I can't shoot worth a flip. Funniest moment was a pulled a swan dive going after a greenhead that jumped off barlow's duck strap. All we could see was about 1/2 his tail sticking up out of the water.
my first HRCH title, with my second HT dog Star. She was much easier to train concepts than with Dusty. Her HR title seemed almost painless compared to his, but her HRCH was a little more involved. Half the south eastern part of the states had a hand in it, but without Johnny, Travis, Ronnie, Steve, Troy, Bill, Glen, Linda... well, you get the picture... we might still be trying to get to that point. It was awesome to get her HRCH title at Southern Flight. Dang that bucket had some cold water in it.

My proudest moment was a combination of my trainig, dogs ability, and judge's comment. We had been watching a brutal senior test that dogs were just butchering. It seemed very straight forward but because of a lot of handler errors everyone tried to keep bending the rules the judge had set out and it kept backfiring on them. I decided to run it the way the judge said eventhough it seemed harder than the normal way we would have run this particular set up. We nailed it and the judge said, as I walked off the line, easy test when the dog runs it right. I was grinning ear to ear. Was more proud of that test than the one we titled on because of the way it happened. That was one test I did not even think about did I pass because judge had nothing to judge. Don't happen often and I still remember it.

My proudest moment with max hasn't been at a hunt test although i am proud of what he has done at them. The proudest moment actually was this past weekend. We've been having a major problem with popping for the past 4 months! Yes 4 months!!! Well i've been working my tale off to fix this problem and nothing seemed to work. So i went back to the basics of going back through Double T, Water T, Swin By, and diversion field. Much to my delight i ran several Water Blinds Sun. afternoon with no pop. I thought to myself "I can't believe this!". So i let him rest for a while and set out several land blinds... No POP on them either. I pulled him out yesterday ran some concept singles and then ran 2 blinds still with no pop. I also ran 3 water blinds with no pop, after some long down the shore water singles. I guess what i'm trying to say is my proudest moment was when the light switch came on and Max finally understood that i will guide him to the bird every time and that there is no reason not to be confident.
....my first HR title as well begins my story. My yellardog Sadee (aka mumadawg aka bus) lined a water blind at West Tenn for her HR title. It was a blind that gave several dogs fits because of the wind blowing scent from old mark and old blind from a Finished test that ran in the same spot that morning. I wont forget walking back up the hill thru the gallery and getting several compliments on my newly titled HR dog. It was that moment when the line went slack the rod was bent and the proverbial hunt test HOOK was set!
...another involving my black dog's, Daisee, first duck hunt. I had all my training buds wif me (cf, sprig and nash) along with Nash's(trey's) HRCH dog, Nash. confusing aint it! It was opening morning at the cutoff. A single gadwall made a pass to check out the elaborate spread that Nash had laid out the evening before. We wont mention the type of deeks! After a few calls from the crew, the gadwall made a fatal decision and was met with some warm steel from cf's browning o/u. The splash came about 60 yards from the dekes. Then you here a big "NO HERE" from Nash cuz Nash had dun left his perch before being sent( a controlled break but a break). I looked down at Daisee and she was quivering, locked on and hasnt moved an inch. So with a proud but nervous smile I quietly uttered "Daisee" and it was ONLIKEDONKEYKONG! She squealed as she left busted thru the dekes swam to the ckicken and brought it back and wheeled around and sat at my side deposited the bird in my hand and promptly kicked her head back looking for the next! Yup , It was a SPECIAL MOMENT indeed!!!

Had my first pup. His name was Cody, some of you know him. He had gotten to be about 6 months old and we went to a horse show. In a field down from the show I could see a guy working his dog and I was sooooo into training and dogs and what they could do I gravitated right to him to watch and talk of course. He had a 3 yr old chocolate male. The dog was poorly trained and had a weird attitude when at his handlers side. 6 months in and I could already pick that stuff up. Anyway it was a flooded bean field and he was handthrowing marks and throwing bumpers into the field to hide for the dog so he could run a blind. WELLLLL, he couldn't get the blind. Dog wouldn't sit, wouldn't cast, yadayada. Well, that leaves this guys bumper trapped floating in the bean field about 50 yds out. I said, "My dog can get that for you, I think.?" He said, "Man that would be great thanks!" So I went to get Cody out and I walk up with this 6 month old puppy and the guys was like "yeah right". Had Cody sit by my side, said 'dead bird' ' Back! Balls out he went. I blew the whistle and he sat. 
Gave him a Left Over with a toot-toot-toot and he took it but ran over the top of the bumper. So, TOOT!. I was a little shook up he didn't get it so when he stopped again I said "Look in there" with a Right Over. He started hunting and found it straightaway and brought it back. I could not have been more proud and that poor guy was so impressed he couldn't believe it. I knew that day that I had a special dog.
Next on the list is my first All-Age finish and subsequent JAM. I have that Ribbon on my office wall. Cody was 1 of 7 dogs to finish that trial along with Ford, Kippy Kemps dogs, FC/AFC JB's So Rude and was one whistle from a place in that field. I was mighty impressed with his work and all with chronic diareaha. Not me, Cody!
Another is an Indiana trip that 3 of us took to run an HRC event. Cody was the ony dog to get the marks clean without a handle out of 2 flights of finished, roughly 50 dogs. It was just a double.

The first retrieve for my dog was something that I will always remember.
We were just scouting a new spot and we saw a couple of bluebills in the water. The dog perked up when he saw the ducks so we stopped the boat and loaded up. We spooked the birds up and I knocked one down. The dog had never worked worked out of a boat so I really didn't expect much but he bailed off of it like he had done it 100 times.
Getting the SHR this fall was pretty cool too.

One of the best weekends I have ever had was at Central, AR. Titled my first MH with an extremely strong run, titled one of my hunting buddies dog in Senior, and titled another one of my dogs in Junior. That was a cool weekend.
Recently my dog Trey (which is a story in its self how he came to me) running East Arkansas on Saturday lined the water blind as if he had been there a million times. Chris Akin was in the holding blind waiting to run next and gave us one of the most meaningful compliments we have received.
The same dog I titled in Central, AR for a friend has since then become an HRCH and a MH. I've been running him for the past year and a half while he has gone throgh a divorce. He has never had a lot of confidence in the dog for some reason. Currently he has 365 UKC points, dog is very consistant, cant imagine what he thinks a good dog is? Well he ran him Saturday at Deer River in his first finished test as a handler and got a pass. That's pretty cool too.

The proudest hunting moment is when Malli was 11 months old. I had some buddies of mine from Brookhaven come on a goose hunt with us. One of them guided in Arkansas and was pretty knowledgeable about hunting. He said bring all the dogs which with all of us was 3 chocs and a yellow.
The mistake that was made that morning was the ground was frozen and 3 choclates movin around in a decoy spread didn't help-"they didn't have much training.
I had Malli inbetween my legs with a goose rag on her back, everybody was laughing at her and we took some pictures and stuff.
Geese started coming and never would commete so we started blasting on the next pass. 4 geese fell and dogs went everywhere, breaking. Malli was jacked up and wanted on of them geese bad but stayed right beside me.
Directly we noticed a goose fall out of the sky about 375/400 yards.
No body wanted to chade that goose. So i decide to give Malli a chance at it. She had just gotten her first SHR title and was starting hand signals pretty well. So i lined her up and sent her. I stoped her and gave her a big back about 50 yard out. She kept moving alittle to far to the left so i stoped her gave her and over about 100. stoped her and gave her a big back when she got back on line. Took it good about another 50. Stoped her again and give her another big back, then all of a sudden she seen it walking to the wood line. It was on then. It looked like a dust storm brewing when she took out across the field. Caught that sucker and started back. I bet so droped it 15 times. It was just as big as her. Pretty funny.
Them boys couldn't believe it. I was more proud of that hunting moment that any. My buddies brother set up front with me for the ride back home while everyone else slept and talked about her the whole way home.
I was proud.

Another thing about that weekend...on the way home Heather was sleeping, it was around 10 pm and I stopped at a store for a Diet Coke and BC powder. Head was hurtin'. She woke up and asked what the heck I was smiling at? I said "Cody!" I think the smiling is what had my head hurting. hehe!
Troy-Sorry couldn't help it. Nice thread!!
My first started test. Cajun's Test.
We were in an old rice field with no water in it for our land test.
She took off after the first bird and cut a flip trying to scoup it.
Walked out of the gallary and a guy told me i hope you got a thick pocket book, your gonna need it. i was hoping he wasn't talking bad about my dog. So later i asked him about it and he said "Son that dogs going places". Didn't no him from Adam.
My second was a test i actually didn't pass. Amite, First finished test 13 months. Had a walk up that you didn't pick up. Walked up a ran the blind. The blind was up a hill behind the a log. It was set up not to be lined. Well Malli lined it..Jumped the log and bam had it. Marks came out and and she smashed her first 2, third bird and she got behind it and had to be handled. Water test and she smokes it. Go to call back and no ribbon, i asked the judges and they told me that she was one of the best dogs to run but she got alittle to far out. I still felt good.
Had to what till the next spring to run. Was 3 for 3 on my passes. Went to West Tn for my title, Smoked both series. Walked of the land test and J. Paul says "Man you got one heck of a dog".
3 of my proudest.
I guess i can say this last Grand too, but really no one of my top 3.

10 straight make me prettty proud. 20 month HRCH
I have really enjoyed all the stories. It's amazing what a dog will do to you, no matter what the stages are what anybody else thinks about it.
There the best to you/ us / me. My dogs the greatest kinda thing.
It's awesome.
Travis next time just tell us where we can purchase the book. Ha
Good read.

Here's my proudest moment , yes it's true . I was crying in that pic , that's why my head was down . Anyone who's seen this mutt understands why him lying down in a holding blind was so special 
Honestly , my proudest moments have come in training ( that's a good thing cause I ain't enough trainer for the dog I got so he don't see a line at tests too often ) . When our little group gets together once a week we throw everything but the kitchen sink at'em , that's the day I gauge my pup . We all know eachother's dogs as if they were our own and we cater to every dog individually so we rarely have failure but we do make'em think/work for their success . It's those days with my buds when I set up something that may be a bit marginal and then my pup crushes the set-up that make me smile . When I walk off the line after such an event and get the fist bumps and spook gets the head pats from our buds , well , that's our ribbons .
