Give your puppy a good start, and avoid problems later.
That’s the logic behind a training clinic for young pointers and retrievers scheduled April 4 at Kiowa Creek Sporting Club in Bennett.
John Perizzolo of Sweetwater Labs will orchestrate the retrievers while John Augustine of Nickel Creek Gun Dogs will direct the pointers during an all-day program that will dedicate part of the proceeds to Pheasants Forever.
In addition to basic confidence drills, pups will be introduced to birds, guns, water, heavy cover, whistle work, quartering and force-fetch retrieves. The fee is $75, call 303-838-9618.
Cutt-Slam growing.
Wyoming’s novel Cutt-Slam angling awards gained 80 new entries in 2008, bringing to 562 the numbers of individuals who completed requirements since the program began in 1996.
The promotional notion awards a certificate to those who catch each of the state’s four cutthroat trout subspecies: Colorado River, Yellowstone, Snake River and Bonneville. Details for participation are available on the Wyoming Department of Game and Fish website.
