Grand Chenier 12/3

[Gerenemo]

Hunted Grand Chenier yesterday. Noticably fewer birds, however at least the water has dropped some and is no longer over the floor of my blind. Took the "Old Man" Cooper The Super Dog out with me. His hunting is very limited due to his age, 13. I truly wish I could put his drive and knowledge into a young dog. He's slow and does not have the stamina he once did, but he's still a great bird dog (The best I ever had). We were able to scratch out a limit by 9:00 am. 3-Scaup, 1-BW Teal, 1-Spoonbill and 1-Mottled Duck. Coop had to "chase" down the mottled duck and slow and steady won that race. He was able to corner it then in bobbing for apples style came up with the bird during one of it's dives. Really something to see. Thanks old friend.
