Little Creek Lodge
Little Suamico, Wisconsin
Our Windy Creek Dogs didn’t fare well at The Invitational. They both, however, were honored at the Wiseries Banquet.
Annie received her awards for runner up ” Singles Pointer Dog of the Year” and 3rd place ” Doubles Pointer of the Year”.
The singles competition was hard fought all year with Willi Hanson’s terrific dog Danno edging Annie by .55 points. Dusty
was honored for winning “Doubles Pointer Dog of the Year”. Dusty pulled ahead of Jamie Palmers’ shorthair Trigger at
the last event to win by slightly over 5 points. Special thanks to Kevin Kimmes, Jamie Palmer, Craig Steinbach, and
Dick Hynes for handling Annie and Dusty and to Craig and Terri Steinbach for running the best series in Tournament
hunting.
Annie and Dusty finished the season at the D.O.G.S. Championships in Dallas, SD at Southfork Lodge. The weather was
wet, cold, and windy ( typical South Dakota) but the competition among the 20 dogs entered in Top Gun Pointer was excellent and the tournament and banquet were great. Jack and Dusty finished 5th over all. Dusty was awesome and would have finished higher if poor shooting hadn’t forced him to make a 100 yard retrieve ( partly in water) on his second bird. Thanks to Darik Tschetter and Angie Olmsted of The Dakota Outdoor Gundog Series and Rick Lutt of Southfork Lodge for running a great tournament.
