This was Nitro 4th or 5th hunt the first year I had him. He already had a couple of wood ducks under his belt at this time and if memory serves me correctly he got his first mallard this day. Slightly bigger than a wood duck. A month later he retrieved his first geese, which completely amazed me because it was a 200+ yard retrieve on a wounded bird and he was out of my sight for 100 yards of it. I don't know who was more excited when he came back over the hill with the goose in his mouth, me, my dad, or him.
