DETAILS: A professional dog trainer from Whitehorse, Jackie Nicholas says she’s proud of this photo because it took her a year to teach her Catahoula leopard dog to “soft mouth” grouse. “Jessey’s not a natural bird dog, but with hard work and training, she reliably finds and retrieves birds,” Nicholas says. The other dog is Jeffrey, a two-year-old American cocker spaniel that’s great at flushing and retrieving birds.

PRIZE: Zeiss 3-12×144 Conquest V4 Riflescope
