6th Series Test Description

904 Old Dawson Rd., Smithville, GA

Land Blind

For Test 6 we are staying at the Barstow Property. The mat is now facing SSW. Winds are coming out of the west. The blind is located approximately 319 yards from the mat.

The line to this blind will include a drainage ditch gently sloping across the path to the bird. The line will take the dog right of a tree and left of the 1st bale. As the dog goes down the field further he will go right of the 2nd bale and through a dip changing levels of grassy cover. The right side of the ground is gently rising. The end of the blind is just across a dirt farm road where the Dead Rooster Pheasant awaits.

This test is taking approximately 2-3 minutes per dog to complete.
