Moose: Why does the old guy get to go? Last day of the season and you’re taking him to the woodie hole!

Boss: He has the nose and he’ll sit still.  Plus it’s a nice sunny day, warm enough for his old bones.  You’re still my all-weather, ice busting, goose tackling go-t0 guy but you need to be a good sport and let the old guy get a few.

Moose: You mean like that “honor” crap you tried on me where I have to honor the working dog?  I am the working dog!

Boss: So you were actually paying attention?  No matter, he’s going and you’re staying.

Moose: But look at all that white! He’ll flare the ducks!

Boss: No.

Moose: But I blend in and I have stealth mode.

Boss: That’s just scary.

Was the old guy successful?

Both old guys! We didn’t have many birds come in because the same hole had been shot the evening prior but we got a couple. Crash even found a few that the guys couldn’t find on Saturday – a testament to the value of having a trained dog around especially if you’re shooting in flooded timber at sunset!
