[QUOTE="Handymike, post: 2652671, member: 119469"] I had a black lab that we used for waterfowl, mostly pass shooting between ponds , so retrieves were dry land. Bear got beat up by a honker and refused to retrieve that year and the next. He'd go sit by them until I can and dispatched them. Took him pheasant hunting up in the delta and wounded a rooster, Bear caught it and it started flappits wings at him. He just grabbed the rooster by the head and bit down hard. Rooster died on the spot, Bear made the retrieve. No more problems. That year went waterfowl hunting again, shot a big honker, which hit the ground very much alive. Bear ran up on him, stopped for a second, charged the bird, grabbed his head in his mouth CRUNCH. No more flapping wings. Great retrieve. He learned how to take care of those nasty birds his way. Until the day he died at 15 I never got a large bird, goose, duck, pheasant that didn't have a crushed head. Maybe that happened to your red one. Mike [/QUOTE]
