They are not naturally inclined to hold point. They have a slight tendency for it but a lot of training would be required to get dog into a pointing mode rather than tracking and baying on a trail.

It is. We don't want the dog chewing up the bird when (or if) he retrieves it. Much more appealing to eat a pheasant that hasn't been munched on by the dog first.Wonders too, don't most 'bird dogs' have a 'soft' mouth for retrieving?
Not sure that is necessary for pheasant hunting.

LOL maybe the cone kept him from catching anything? Hmmm.... Chicken Cone??
Thinking more...I can't believe he squeezed out of there with a cone on, how the heck did he do that!
Hey, there's a thought! Oh, the torture - I can just imagine him thinking, "But they're so close! Can't quite... reach!" (I find the whole idea rather amusing.) I wish I could have seen how he got himself out of that gap. Honestly, I don't think it's even a foot wide. I'm almost tempted to put him back and and watch, just to see how he did it.LOL maybe the cone kept him from catching anything? Hmmm.... Chicken Cone??

LOL yep!!
I would put him back in there to see how he got out! Wonder if he would do it with you watching, you might have to hide or set up a cam.
