Guy Merker came down from Northern Illinois with his two sons, Clayton and Cameron for some upland bird hunting. They came down the evening before to get a nice start in the morning after some eggs and bacon. Travis Devall took them over to the Tinkerfarm Field to run his dogs on the pheasant and chukar in the prairie strips and edges. This was the first pheasant hunt for the two boys and after a few rises they were knocking them down.
