Thank you David, most appreciated.
I had a few other nice IF's but they didn't make this thread because of a weak BG.

A great shot for sure Kirk. My only comment would be a little tighter crop, but it's still great as is ~ Ron

BTW, did you know there are 3 other Bensons posting here?

Bruce (B1)
Benzzene (B3)
and me (B2)

Thanks Ron, I was afraid to crop any tighter being concerned about IQ.
Thanks for the Benson update... I knew about all but you, that's cool.

Kirk

Well done Kirk. This is a tough shot.

Morris

only one word... WOW!!

beautiful settings Kirk. Glad to see he is still around. Unfortunately, he didn't make an appearance for me on Sunday morning.

Thanks Thang. I actually had more favorable wing positions, but didn't post because of much less interesting BG's. Good luck with this guy.

Well things must have been scarce to come away with only a 'dangler' of a worm

That that is a beauty to see IF Kirk and you got it good buddy, congrats on your fine image!

Karl

Verrrry scarce... turned out to be a good thing for me as his predictable hunting pattern allowed for this fortunate encounter.
Thanks as always for your good words my friend.
