Day 6

Went out after work for 1 hour. Ruger bumped 3 different woodcocks. Followed 1 and scout pointed and held it, Ruger came rushing in and the bird flushed, i shot it and scout retrieved. that was the only point of the day. Some flash points but nothing great. Ruger also bumped 1 grouse into a tree. i was able to take a picture of it, then i just flushed it and watched it fly away.

Saw 6 woodcocks and 1 grouse.
Scout was either bitten by a bee, or had an allergic reaction to something. Her face was puffed up like a swollen boxer when i got home. Had to give her 15 ML of benadryl.
