The Sophomore Championship cast has made plans to meet up and leave the fairgrounds about 7:30 CDT
...
It's currently 81 degrees with zero wind, 73% humidity and a 20% chance of rain
...
To put it bluntly, it's drier than a popcorn %^&* out here in Salem, you can kick up a cloud of dust, just walking at a normal pace
...
There are plenty of raccoons to tree, but it's been tough on the young dogs this week
...
The Sophomore cast has arrived at the hunting spot
...
Dogs are being collared up
...
The area is a big corn field with fingers into draws of nice timber
...
