Joe and Cheryl spent a week in northern New Hampshire as guests of Tony and Marie Bly. Late spring snow reduced the woodcock population so birds were not as plentiful as most years but still enough to get a good amount of wild bird training done. Neighbor, Field Trial Magazine’s Craig Doherty accompanied Joe and Tony on a few outings. Tony and Craig spend much of the early summer weeks cutting and grooming their training grounds which would otherwise be impenetrable at this time of year. Many thanks to them and to the friendship and hospitality of Tony and Marie!

Not yet two, Chris Mathan’s Kit spent the summer with Joe. Broke on pigeons and quail, she still needs some lessons on wild birds!
