In a Missouri field targeting geese

My son DoniJon, and his niece (my Grand Daughter) Savannah deer harvest in the Great Arkansas Outdoors of Grant County, Arkansas. The wording (Location of Kill) on the photo “Molly Hogan Field” is a place that does not exist. Being that, most of the time when you can harvest a nice deer as this (here in Grant County) and you are asked “Man, Where did you get that Buck Deer? The typical answer is “The Molly Hogan Field” which is a polite way of saying “None of your Business”.
