Great shot!! But should Henry really be reaching for that bird or sitting while it is shot and then going to fetch it???!!! I'd be scared he could get hurt...

That's one thing about domestic raised birds. They don't fly well and dogs often can grab them.

I've hunted wild birds and pen raised birds over the past 10 years. While some breeders don't exercise their birds, Skip's birds are strong flushers and flyers. I've seen plenty of dramatic flushes followed by a quick exits and flights of half a mile or more.

Some birds hold tight like this one did, hoping to be missed by the dog and others flush well out of range. Henry did some very nice work and put up a beauty. And the only bird I've seen grabbed out of the air was an escaping wild Mallard that our Pete got about 4 feet off the ground.

Arleen, you should be proud of Don & Henry. These birds are not lazy slow fliers. While some of these shots are fuzzy, here's the rest of the sequence. BTW my Canon shoots five frames per second...

Henry & pheasant 3

Henry & pheasant 4





Henry & pheasant 5

The bird landed in the next field over all the way in the back. About 1/2 mile from where he was flushed.
