I remember the K blinds for sure. I think the only ones I ever hunted out of had parking lots and you walked to them. The ones by Shelby Lake were pretty darned good when the wind was right and the geese were laboring to get up over the hill.
They used to have a first come, first served deal on the waiting line. Guys would camp out overnight to be first in line. Saw at least one fight I remember where someone tried to cut in at the front of the line. Jim German ended up at Schell Osage years later.
BTW, those parachutes got heavy as hell when they got wet. And, they never got dried out after opening day.
Yeah, lots of good times at that place. One thing you never wanted to do was to take the back road to Sumner after a rain.........just a sea of mud.
