Handle 18. SHOTGUN RIDER OF FAITH, “Tim,” BLM, JD Babb

JD and Tim came to the line at 11:04 am

LF – High Flyer – he went straight to it!

RF – Came in behind the guns – looped around them – out into the strips of cover – and he worked it out and got his bird.

RR – Headed to the RR blind – came in just left of it – circled right then down to the bird.

LR – Up the middle of the field – over the terrace and went very deep – had to handle back to the bird.
