She got 6 good flushes and by #3 was 100% game on. Retrieves we need to work on, but she was doing everything right on the last 3 birds. She needed this and it was a lot of fun.
Long truck ride though. She was kind of a pain on the way out,
it was a lot quieter on the way back.

It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

Its a dog hammock that I asked for for Christmas. Goes over the front headrests and since I dont have rear, there are 3 car seat attachments in my truck. I used the outer two for the cover and the middle one for the leash. Under it on each side there are handles that I just put through the place where the back and seat fold, and that held the bottom in place. It is a little shy in width for a full sized truck, not enough to not make it work though. I had room for the shotgun, her luggage, my boots and some other stuff under it.
I only had her on the leash while trying to get her stuff packed. She chewed through it, also worked on one seat belt. On the way out she tried to get over a few times, and did partly. I had to toss some elbow in and one nose slap. Not good to have a lab trying to crawl over at 70 in traffic. It helps, and I think she is learning that she is to be in the back. On the way back she only stirred up when I stopped for a sandwich and was in the front when I came out. Put her in the back and gave her a hot dog and it was back to snooze.
It was a first time run and I think I like it.
I use a very similar hammock in my truck. They make life so much easier, especially in keeping the seat clean.
She really seemed to key on the pheasants moreso than the chuckars, but the third chuckar she was on well. Then when we got to the field with the pheasants, she was game on doing everything she was supposed to do.
Come up here. We have a buttload of quail a couple hours south of me, and I can show you some places. I have a dog and my buddy has one, too. That puts it a whole lot closer to you than coming up my way. NE non-res hunting license and habitat stamp is all you need. Cheaper than most preserves and you can go multiple times per year.
