A good work out


Moxi had an excellent find today it almost sounds like one of those tall tails.
While out for some brushing up before the next trial I noticed moxi caught wind of something, head up and a little zizg zag and she was off I thought she scented a deer I whistled her but she ignored me something she normally does not do and them she was out of sight. I waited a minute whistled her again she didn't show so I began walking the direction I last saw her after about a 300yd walk I saw her in a thicket on point, I walked in and about 20 feet in front of her I flushed a woodcock. It was an extremely windy day so the wind was to her advantage in this case I guess but it was so windy I didn't think the scent of a bird hunkered down in a thicket would travel a line like that. It was as if the dog was being pulled on a string right to the bird all that distance.
