Bird and Buddy have trained hard for the 2025 season. Buddy is new, but he is on par to be a fantastic tracking dog. Bird goes into this season at 53 deer and 6 bears, putting her at 59 in 2 years. Every 20 recoveries she gets promoted, so whomever is the first recovery of 2025 for Bird gets to give her a promotion; from Major Turd Bird to Colonel Turd Bird!
