Many dogs are ending up well to the right and up the hill on this blind.
Part of the factors in this blind include an out-of-sight period of time once the dog crosses over the dike and drops toward the water. Now, the water on this side of the pond backs up way to the right like a finger of water. Some dogs seem to be breaking right when they get to the edge/into the water or not, and then have the opportunity to channel in that direction or parallel that shore. When this happens they are out of sight a long time and then end up coming out up on the hill. Others break right and cross that finger at some point and then climb the hill. But, either way, they get over there while being out of sight down in the water. Some handlers have told me that if the dog is dead on line, he/she is out of sight 20-30 seconds. If to the left of the line, maybe less than that. But to the right, it could be a while before they reappear to be further handled from there.
