Hunting Amendments, post election

I mentioned in an earlier post that several states had placed "right to hunt and fish" amendments on the ballot for this November. Well, three states have passed these amendments (AR, SC & TN) and the folks in Arizona defeated the amendment.

That adds 3 states to the following where the right to hunt is already law: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.

the hunt test

The LIGRC Hunt Tests last weekend at the Peconic Headwaters WMA in Calverton were Sport's first tests. We had a good day on Saturday and Sunday his retrieving on the land series was very good. The water portion of the test on Sunday was more challenging to him. He loves water but the pond is known for its layout and angles. Unfortunately we had not trained there before and he hesitated entering the pond. He knew where the duck was but kept running along the edge of the water.

Why wouldn't he just go in and swim to the duck? I don't know he never told me, however he finally retrieved the duck. He did not qualify on Sunday but he did not get wiped.
