I recently joined the Germand Shorthaired Pointer Club of Oregon and we had our annual club hunt today.  Rowdy did great for his first time on preserve birds, despite running head-first into a barbed wire fence and slicing himself open.  Vet said stitches not critical, but gave anti-biotics.  These German dogs are tough.  After he sliced his head/face open he pointed and retrieved 3 pheasant (2 roosters and a hen.  More battle scars.  Tried to get more dog-working-birds pictures and less dead birds on a tailgate photos.  Ended up with 2 roosters and 2 hens out of 5 birds.   4 points and 3 retrieves.

A hard point, full of intensity on a rooster:

Battle scars (vet gave anti-biotics and pain killers):

 Yeah, I am very grateful he didn't lose an eye.  That would have been horrible.
