30. Rimfire's I'm Your Huckleberry, "Huck," BLM, Rod Sage
Came to the line at 12:04 pm
Flyer - Excellent Mark
Middle - Huck angled right of the bale and took the left corner of the pond. Pushing left down the hill he went into the second pond. Out on the left end of the point away from the bird, he had to work his way behind the guns to the right end and get the bird.
Left - Nice angle across the field. Huck continued a left line across the first pond, over the levee and into the second pond. Still on the same line he took the tip of the point and scooped up his bird.
28. Dry Creeks Tru Blu, "Trudy," BLF, George Metka
Flyer - Very Nice - Perfect
Middle - Trudy took the line to the pond right of the hay bale. She swam across the water towards the fall area. When she got onto the land she veered left, then turned right to go back into the pond then came out at the bird.
Left - She angled the hill into the first pond on a line going towards the bird. She continued this angle in the first pond, over the levee and kept this nice line straight to her bird.
27. Toplines Everlasting Rock, "Rocky," BLM, Marc Patton
Flyer - Perfect Mark
Left - Heading to the middle bird - Nice line down into the first pond then he veered left going to the second pond putting him left of the guns and out to the left end of the point and kept going to the far shore. He ran to the bird on the left and scooped it up.
Middle - Nice line into the pond, Rocky start to veer left and crossed the same on the same line as last time. He got to the point and went into the field behind the guns. He hunted deep then shallow then to the bird.
26. Mack's Ripper's Ace, "Rip," BLM, Clint Avant
Flyer - Good Job
Middle - Rip angled into the first pond right of the bale and kept the line through the water. Starting to push off wide right to the far right end of the pond. He kept going further away from the mark. He had an extended hunt into the far right of the field, then he finally worked it out.
Left - Rip went down the field on a good angle and crossed the pond keeping the nice angle. He went over the levee and turned towards the guns, looped behind then and came around to get it.
25. Premier Retrievers Black Ops Special, "King," BLM, Christian Alt
Flyer - Had an extended hunt.
Middle - Excellent line through the first pond going towards the bird. He angled left across the land and into the second pond and continued the angle putting him wide left of the guns. When he got to the shore he was deep of the point for a small hunt then he went back into the water and out to the point then to his bird.
Left - Nice line into the first pond with a good angle to the left during his swim. He went over the levee and into the second pond where he swam past the point (with the bird on it) to the shore just beyond it. He turned back to the right then went up to the point and got his bird.
