I've had worse days . . .

Back to Baser.  Last night, by the grace of God, we were spared the misfortune of heavy downpours, lightning, thunder, and hail. The weatherman called for 2-4 inches of precip, and in actuality, we only got 1/2 an inch, which was a big win.  Our birds, however, still thinned dramatically over what we've been seeing.

I was honored to be joined by Cason Short, Matt Goodrich, Kyle, Eric Price, Meredith and Johnny for the second shoot on a field that's had a very, very long dry spell. Temps were in the 60's, but the skies were clear and 10 mph South winds helped us work weary birds. We left 8 shy, but only because the game warden held us up for a little while.
