Handle – 15. FC-AFC KIRKWOOD’S ACE OF A HIGHER GRADE, “Deacon,” LM, Mark Medford

Deacon and Mark came to the line at 10:35 am

RF –Around the end of the pond to the area of the fall. He makes a few circles in the cover to find his bird!

RR – Tight hunt around the holding blind and he is on his bird!

LR –Across the water and he lands right of the blind – Deacon puts on a  hunt right and deep – extends left and then is seen in the flyer area. He is handled to this bird.

LF – Very good initial line, carried across both pieces of water – a couple looks and he was on the bird!
