FC-AFC LJ’s Renaissance Queen, BLF “Bess” handled by Mark Littlejohn

Bess and owner/handler Mark Littlejohn came to the line at 6:58 am.

Bess got a no bird on the left retired bird. They sent her to the holding blind until the gunners got it picked up.

With the light fog beginning to settle Bess was back up to the line at 6:59 am.

Long Middle Retired - Hard to see the bird, but the muzzle flashed visible. Bess launched and went down the line to pick up the rooster perfectly.

Right Retired - She angled nicely through the mowed strips to come into the area under the arc of the fall. She held the area for a tight hunt to grab her bird.

Flyer - Bess's initial line was to the right. She corrected it by making a couple of early whistles that moved her towards the flyer. Another whistles and she was in the fall area for the rooster.

This test took Bess 6 minutes 28 seconds.
