Not only is the amount of downs different, but so are the amount of players on the field. In the NFL, there are eleven players on the field, opposed to the CFL, where there are twelve! In the CFL, they can fit twelve people onto the field easier because the field is bigger than the NFL’s field. In fact, the field is ten yards wider than the NFL’s field. Since there is more room and…

would be hunting. The blind overlooks a 100 yard stretch of field,then behind the field is maybe 100 yards of hardwoods. We waited and waited, it was about 9:30am and we were about to go to the cabin for the morning and come back at 4pm, But the 8 point buck walked out just in time.
