Wonderful dogs, I had the pleasure of judging the hunt tests at the AWS National Specialty one year.
My grandpa always told me to carry a mirror with me, it wouldn't help me find my way but it would show me who's lost.
The first year after my cataract surgery I thought it was so cool to be able to hunt without having to wear glasses. My surgery corrected my nearsightedness but I still had to wear reader. Not thinking about having to read anything I went hunting without the readers and got thoroughly lost in the fog and when I pulled out my compass(old and worn) couldn't determine which was N or S on it. I was starting to look for a dead tree to spend the night by(fire wood) when I heard the fans from a potato barn out in the distance start and was able to get my directions in the fog.
