Kudos: The guys were great: froze when birds surprised us and let me bring them back around to the guns, instead of cutting flips and running them off, and waited for my cue to kill, instead of jumping early and screwing the pooch. Were done in time to send another crew having a tougher go to my blind for the last couple hours before curfew. Was exactly the morning I needed to remind me why I guide.
