Friends of Wister (FOW) is having another blind repair day August 25th 2007. Meet up at the Sonny Bono NWR HQ at 6am. We will be working at Hazard and Wister. This is the only time we'll be allowed to scout the fed area since the feds allow folks in there only on hunt days. Great time to scout for dove too.
BBQ and shotgun patterning afterward so bring your thrower and shells. We'll have plenty of chokes to test.
Holler if anyone needs a ride, we'll get you fixed up. I'll be coming out of the San Bernardino area is anyone wants to carpool from there.
Bring hand tools if you have them and lots of water and sunscreen/straw hat.
