Closing in on 100

[Captain Jay Kavanagh]

Maybelle has had a great season, and as we are winding down, I realize that we are really close to getting her 100 hunting retrieves for the year.

Good thing we get to go hunting with better shots than myself.

She does pretty good, delevers to hand (most of the time) and has had some long and icy fetches this year.

She is however, very critical of misses.

That is doves and ducks.

hope she gets there.

misses? surely not, not you Jay, must be your buddies missing......

thanks Jay

I love the Maybelle stories and reports. you know I am living vicariously through you and Maybelle since Belle is too old to hunt.

She is very focused, sometimes, when I am hunting alone, just me a Maybelle, I talk to her, and she gives me this look like "leave me alone, I am concentrating."

Great shot of a fine dog. Congrats.

50 doves and 50 ducks for Miss Maybelle of Piney Ridge

We had a good day yesterday with 5, 2 gadwalls, one black, one woody, and one widgeon. Jeremy, Justin and I doin the shootin. All good fetches for Maybelle



She retrieved 99 and 100 this morning about 7:30, a pair of black ducks came to us, Jeremy knocked the big one down stone dead, and I winged the little one on the second shot, to give Maybelle some sport for a very alive black duck retrieve.



Her first season she retrieved no doves and 20 ducks.
Last year she fetched 30 doves and 53 ducks.

Very proud of my girl.
