After which the hunter must harvest the bird with one shot and then have your dog retrieve the bird to hand. It is usually competed with quail, chukars, or pheasants and you are allowed 15 minutes to complete the course. Fastest and Cleanest time will win.
Famous quotes containing the word hunting:
“Signal smokes, war drums, feathered bonnets against the western sky. New messiahs, young leaders are ready to hurl the finest light cavalry in the world against Fort Stark. In the Kiowa village, the beat of drums echoes in the pulsebeat of the young braves. Fighters under a common banner, old quarrels forgotten, Comanche rides with Arapaho, Apache with Cheyenne. All chant of war. War to drive the white man forever from the red man’s hunting ground.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
