For those of you that have hunted "Kris's Field" in layout blinds, this may be a familiar view. We watched thousands of birds come in today and many of them came straight here. They ain't gonna like what we have in store for them...
Bob and Devin Mackay, Tony Morgando, Rooster Wendling, and i had ourselves a nice morning. Done at the Slanty Shanty by 8:45am.
Tony the Hammer brought home some jewelry today.
These birds died at the Grassy Knoll.They were victimized by Dave Heinzelman, Vince Mastandrea, MaxMilinkovich, and Pat Mastandrea.

Mark's group hunted from layout blinds and finished first. Kim Presbrey, Richard Schlipp, R.J. McGee, Mark, and Tony the Hammer with his second band in four days. Nice work, gents!
Jason's guys finished minutes later. Back row: Jason Polowy, Duck, Director Brannigan, and Ski Slepski. Front row: The Hennigan Boys - Brian and Marty.
D'ya s'pose we have any birds yet? These birds were spooked by something as i was leaving the Back Forty with my own limit around 2:30pm. They came out of the field Mark's group hunted in layouts earlier in the day.
Roger Vanderpool, Tony Morgando, guide Mark Kibler, Walt Wear, and Mark Kellen killed thes birds from layouts.
