I run an English Cocker, who sits in a deer stand with me. If I don't spot a deer within 30-40 yards, I usually just back up and watch him. He'll generally cast back and forth, then head for the dead deer. I'll probably work a little bit more with my next one, but this one is smart enough to know what we are trying to do. The field bred Cockers are awfully close in temperament to a small Springer.


Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.
