I took my girls out for a hunt this morning and managed to get three roosters with three shots. I have to say that my five-year-old shorthair Gibby made a great retrieve on one of them. She was close when it hit the ground with a broken wing and it took off running. I thought she lost it in the tall grass but I saw her going over the hill. I called the others over to hunt dead but we couldn't find anything. I looked at the Astro and Gibby was 125 yards away and coming back and when I could see her, she had a very live rooster in her mouth. Good dog!!
