Came to the line at 1:15 pm

RF - Big splash into the pond lunging through the stick end of it to charge on to grab her bird.

RR - Off the end of the point and clipping the island, Ptar is through the pond. He climbs the hill for a tight hunt and has a quick recovery of the bird.

LF - Angling across the corner, then over the point, Ptar is on his way to another good job.

LR - Nice line across the pond. Ptar has a bit of a hunt on the end but comes up with his bird.

Flyer - Angling left Ptar navigated the five waters. When he hit the final land he stepped on the bird. Great Job.

Middle - Ptar splashed into the water on a line slightly right. He splashed in the water behind the holding blind. With a curve into the crescent pond, Ptar got out with the bird. Good Job

Right - Into the water at the first corner, Ptar angles slightly right toward the clump of four trees. Passing them on the right, he curved left across the hillside and went directly to the bird. Three for Three!

Ptar heard the whistle once before the water, then one more time to get on and off the point. Doreen had to only blow the whistle one more time on the mound to have Ptar get his bird.
