Pheasant Flyers and such …
National Championships are punctuated with pheasants – it's not for the faint of heart. Today, the National Derby club is presenting two roosters and later, a hen. Generally, this brings longer fall area hunts. It's a grand tradition of the Field Trials to use pheasants and it's very "exciting" to hear the cackle of a rooster – the dogs are PUMPED!
FYI at the time of writing this, we have just witnessed three no-birds in a row …

Fourth Series – Land Double
The Fourth Series is land double using rooster pheasants. The mat is on the side of a hill. The long bird on the right is a dead rooster at 230 yards thrown to the right. The dog must run down a long hill, across the road and up to the other side through a small area of grass with some higher cover at the end. The rooster flyer on the left side is also shot to the right at 141 yards. The dog must again run down the hill through mowed strips for the retrieve. These roosters really carry out. The test is another fast one at just about three minutes.
