Nice report and pics. Looked like lots of fun.

Our best hunter (dog) was a pound dog. He was yellow, not pure bred at all, but was absolutely relentless. I think he might have been part hound. Just an unbelievable hunter, he would not ever lose a cripple if we could get him within 50 feet of where it landed. I've been with lots of good "real" labs since then, but this dog was uncanny, like a 6th sense or something. RIP Chester.
