 Went on a two day trip out east for devil birds.  First day, got into 5 coveys of chukar and 2 coveys of huns.  Rowdy pointed 6/7 coveys, but only 3 were within gun range when they flushed.  I managed to shoot 3 chukar and 1 hun out of the coveys he pointed within gun range.  Today we hunted a different area and got into 7 coveys of chukar and 3 coveys of huns.  These birds were far spookier and were flushing 100+ yards out.  They had definitely seen pressure and were 2nd year birds.  Each one of these birds was a trophy chukar and had obviously had a year or two of experience with chukar hunters.  The last few hunts his "style" is really coming out.  He has a 12-o'clock tail and looks great on point.  Very staunch and he will hold point for as long as it takes for me to get there (most of the time).  I was very impressed with Rowdy, especially after he made a 200 yard retrieve to the bottom of a canyon and back after spending 10 - 15 minutes searching for the bird.

Thanks! I'm very impressed with how he's doing at his age. Not perfect but I don't expect that at all.

I think it is like this . The genetic's are there & you work well with him. Plus apperently you shoot well . That sounds like a perfect combination to me.
