This is her third one this year, all natural ability, just put her down where you think you hit the deer, she is all business find them in a couple of minutes. ~ Cal Lucas
Hidra, woodcock pointing machine, first hunt raised 10 birds in two hours, if I shot better we would have had limit in 10 minutes.
Cal is quite pleased with Fall Brook Runs Hiddre’s retrieves, he says: ‘She has retrieved every bird without fail from extremely heavy cover’
