Now a point in the Pine trees. With the weather cold and raining, the bird was reluctant to fly. A couple of false starts and then the bird flashes through the Pines like a Maine grouse. This was a bad deal. We are down six shots and have only three birds.
Drake takes bird four with our seventh shot.
Ten minutes have passed since we started. Drake shoots twice and bird five is in hand. We start back to the judge's area. We had only used up twelve minutes of our allotted twenty minutes. But, we had used one more shot than was allowed.
