Series 8 Water Blind With A Poison Bird Test Description
We arrive at the Series 8 Water Blind on the opposite end of the ponds where we ran the Series 7 Water Triple on Kent Sweezy's Stick Pond property. The mat is situated on the hill-side tight against the treeline in between the RR & LR of the 7th series. We are now facing due west standing at the end of the land bridge about 25 yards from the water's edge. This is where so many dogs exited early in and hunted. The line to the blind is entering the first pond to then parallel the shore, clipping a small point in the first piece of water located on the left-hand shore. The dog then exits the pond in the corner at the land bridge. The dog must then re-enter into the second pond. However, the nifty element added to this blind is a poison bird. The bird is thrown away from the line to the blind and is virtually out of the picture. The two gunner's are at a distance of 170 yards. They are sitting deep and to the right of the path on the land bridge. If the dogs decide to take the path, it will carry them up the hill and to the poison bird. After the dog's re-enter they must carry a line parallel to the right-hand shore of the second pond. The bird is planted in medium length marsh grass about 70 yards deep and to the left of the poison bird station at the end of the second pond. Total yardage is 240 yards and the blind is taking 4 to 5 mins a dog to complete.
Good Luck To All!
