Sage and her exploits

[GunnyMack]

3 weeks into the '25 bird season and Sage is doing well with her second season.
She has been hunting with multiple other folks and performing like a champ!

This morning I took a club members son and myself. He shooting a 12 and I took the mighty 410!
First bird up was missed by the 12 ga and flew off the property. Second bird was dropped by 11/16 oz of 7narfs with a perfect head shot( I love it when they flush crossing!)
Next bird up was another crosser and again the 410 barked once and head shot . I know when I shoot Sage doesn't have to chase cripples.
Sage worked another bird that flushed for the other hunter and thankfully he had an IC choke in as he hit it really fast , but in the back mostly so should be good for the table.
We worked towards the end of the field and I could see Sage getting birdy, she hit the edge of the field and lit the afterburners chasing a runner. The rooster flushed in front of me, going away and I made the shot, the bird folded when the other guy shot needlessly as the bird was dead , now dead twice!

I'm very proud of my Sage, soft mouthed, no need for the shock collar, listens well and she won't grab a live bird unlike Parker or Claro!
