I eased the safety off of my Browning A-5 light 12 and two birds jumped up, going in two different directions. I nailed the hen with my 1st shot then shifted 90 degrees to the big rooster flying away over the lake. I missed with my 2nd shot but capped him with my 3rd. Jake was returning with the hen, he dropped her at my feet then looked at me. I took a spent shell and tossed it in the direction of the floating rooster, that was way out in the lake. Jake jumped the fence, swam out to where the shell hit the water then turned and looked at me again, I kept giving him hand signals in the direction of the rooster he finally spotted the bird and swam out and got it. He was a great hunter.......my only double kill.

Sweet, Jake might still have some years ahead of him. The patriarch of the kennel where we got ours became 17, pure hunting dog.
