I would think you can buy it and have it shipped there.

Thank you Don

Thank you. I think I have the GoPro 5. I shoot it in 4K at 120 frames per second. Then I zoom in when I edit it and it still has pretty good detail. I have found that my GoPro does not do well in low light. My iPhone does much better in low light conditions. I have my GoPro set on video so I can just hit the button and it will go from off to recording within a second. So I have the GoPro mounted on my head so all I have to do is reach up and press the button to start recording. It always happens so fast that you rarely have much time to get ready. I shot my biggest buck ever this past season and caught it on my GoPro as well. He grossed 197 inches. I have the video posted on my channel as well. Good luck this season!

No, he was out. Dogs are dropped if they require any gunner help. This was done just to help the dog succeed so he hopefully learns from his mistake.

Thank you. My dog makes me look like I know what I’m doing as a trainer.

Just about

Happy to answer any questions since you can’t hear it. I was just explaining what I was doing. The description of the video gives background on what I was working on.

Thanks Mike. It was a tough trial for us, but was glad we finished.

All good points. I agree that I didn’t think I passed after all my cast refusals on the water blind. He had a great land series so maybe that helped. They stopped me when I came off the line to tell me they weren’t sure I passed and that they were on the fence. I did get a warning for no shouldering the gun. They also mentioned that I didn’t shoot at the top of the arc on the final bird. Funny thing is I was so excited that I just kind of blanked shooting at the top of the arc. It was my first time ever running a Finished test so I was super nervous. I’ve come a long way since then as Buck now has his HRCH, MH and QA2 titles. Thanks again for your comments.

The point of the video is not to teach you the concept of de-cheating, but to show you the process of it.

The dog is trying to cut to the shore early so they can get out and run down the shore to get the bumper. Instead, we handle the dog to keep them in the water until they get to the bumper. We repeat the concept by moving further down the shore and throwing it again. Additionally, the gunner is closer which makes the dog want to exit the water early. Make sense?

I’m glad they have been helpful. I agree that it is more helpful to see what failure looks like. Here is another finished test to look at. We barely passed this one. ua-cam.com/video/qeA2Z_HWMTg/v-deo.htmlsi=nbftJrcMeUBc6FHp The judges were really on the fence whether we passed and you can see why. This was our first finished test. You’ll see we really weren’t ready for it. His blind was terrible and he had a huge hunt on the middle bird. Luckily he did well on the land test so that helped us. Best of luck as you begin running in finished tests!

@@labguy303 that’s great! I’m part of Cowtown and running our hunt and it’s cool to see some of the judges’ chairs with the logo. I wish there was a specific number of cast refusals to know if you pass or fail, but I guess it depends on the judges

That’s great. I was thinking about running in the upcoming Cowtown test. I live in the Dallas area as well. Maybe I’ll see you there.

@@labguy303 sounds good! I’m in west Fort Worth, but I train out with some of the guys in Lonestar in north Dallas when I can

Miss Lonestar!!

You are too kind Steve. That sure means a lot coming from you. I’m still bummed you moved away. I learned so much from you in the short time you were in Texas. Miss you my friend.

Yes you can. But you may not get called back if you do. All depends how the other dogs do.

Ok. I’ve only done Hunt tests.

Totally understand. I started in hunt tests myself. Think about the difference as hunt tests judge on a standard. Field trials judge on a curve.

This was the 2nd series

I have a head strap. I turn the camera a little to my left so it is lined up properly when I shoot.

I was looking for the pic with you in it that was in front of the house in Elmo, but I couldn’t find it. We need to take more pics with you when you are up there!!!

For sure. Thanks!

Thanks bud

Thanks Keith. It’s funny to look back to see how far I’ve come over the years.

No kidding. I’ve never seen a deer drop with a bow before, unless it was a spine shot.

@@labguy303 yeah ikr 😅

Could be

Thank you!

Thank you

Bet

For sure

Thanks

Thank you

Thank you. I feel so blessed that it all worked out.

I love Kansas! You guys have some great bucks there. And I love that your rifle season isn’t in the middle of the rut.

Thank you. I feel really fortunate.

The dogs become conditioned to it over time. It’s what you have to do if you are going to run field trials.

Expect them to not have as much confidence without the buckets. I wouldn’t use the buckets for too long as they will be come dependent on it. I would probably shorten up the length or simplify in another way to help increase confidence.

This is a field trial. In hunt tests they wear camo. In field trials they wear white.

They must have because she passed.

She is out of Foxx

Glad you found that helpful. I post all the good and the bad. As painful as it is, I post my numerous failure in hunt test and trials as well.

That’s great. Will do. Good luck

Totally agree. Dogs are so amazing.

Thank you! I was so pumped to have gotten it all on video.

Yes, you are correct. I did this drill to clean up and get better angle-back casts. And to carry the correct cast for a longer distance. The buckets make the exact location less relevant. I just want him to pick the correct bucket associated with the correct cast. I would do this only after the dog is comfortable doing cold blinds. Hard for me to give too much help not knowing all you’ve done with your dog. Have you done “force to the pile” and “double T”? If your dog is “hunting” instead of running with his head up, I would consider revisiting force to the pile to increase his sense or urgency when running blind.

I’m going to revisit some force to pile. It’s been awhile since we have done that drill. We have done our T and double T work even some reverse T work. I’ve just really been focused on marks bc I just got my first set of slinger wingers and swim by this spring. Thks for the reply.

Best of luck.

Thank you Jeff

Thank you Peter. I’m glad you enjoy it. We’ve sure come a long way. I’m actually at a trial right now. Is there anything I can add to the videos that would make them better?

Hi Dan. My dogs name is “Buck” so it may sound like I’m saying back sometimes. I do use his name for marks and “back” for blinds. Good luck in your junior tests. You will never forget your first junior test.
