That Pesky Drake Flyer...

...while it's not producing many handles, it sure is producing many hunts of every description. Behind the gun and way behind the gun, looping and circling and running, also hunts short of the bird that eventually work into the mark. These are the primary hunt patterns thus far...with others of course.
