Third Series
The dogs were cast from a mat to a "hidden entry" water blind of approximately 180 yards. Immediately in front of the dogs was a log. The dogs proceeded across a road and down an embankment into the water. Once in the water the dogs were required to swim approximately 20 yards, cross a point and re-enter the water. This point was sprinkled with a dozen goose silhouettes. After another swim of about 35 yards, the dogs had to cross another point, re-enter the water and proceed to a third spit of land. From here, the dogs had a swim of about 50 yards to the opposite shore line. The final destination was up the shore approximately 20 yards and near a tree line. The bird was placed at the base of a small cedar tree.
