Re-Run 64. NFC-AFC HOLLAND CLIFFS PLAY IT AGAIN, “Luke,” BLM, Alvin Hatcher

Luke and Alvin were given a Re-Run and came back to the line at 4:06 pm

LF - Short hunt slightly deep of the arc and then over to the haybale and he got it

SR - Line was just left of the fall - took one turn and looped left and then back and got his bird

SF - Line was behind the guns - curved over and went directly to his bird

LR - Line was right of the arc - went up the hill a bit - came back down - hunted the area and came to the area and got his bird

**Flyer is being marked as a handle from the 1st run #64 had for this test (as the LF mark was completed - before he was granted a rerun) **

Luke and Alvin came to the line at 2:50 pm

LF - Line out brought him under the arc - hunted the area and then came down toward the short retired area - he was handled for quite a while when the judges asked for the dog to be picked up 

(the bird was picked up near the bale where others have landed) 

*the judges have made a call that we are not aware of yet

**UPDATE** Alvin and Luke will have a Re-Run at the end - LF Mark will still be marked as a Handle
