I received a few pm's. Do to logistics I am guessing it will be tough for a couple of them.
I am getting my spring test/trial schedule put togather. It looks like maybe the 3 rd weekend of June would be the earliest I could play. I will keep plugging away and have a preliminary plan put togather. If the numbers are to low would a training day get togather be of interest?

I'd say to just make it a fun event. Nothing to difficult. Not like a NAVHDA test. Remember, we will have a bunch of different breeds and probably a bunch of different levels of training. I wouldn't expect my Brittany, that has never done a hunt test, to compete against some of the retrievers and V-dogs. She's a good retriever but for my type of hunting and trialing I don't practice marks or multiple marks with her. Thus she is not hand signal trained for blind retrieves. Just throw it out there and she'll go get it. Keep it simple and fun.

If this doesn't work out this year I'd like to come out to a hunt test~trials to see what I'm getting into!
I also know of a game farm that would probably close for a big hunt challenge. Excellent cover and the few times I've been there the birds are strong and the rooster are darn close to wild, 1/2 try to hide 1/2 run like hell.
That might be fun phez/chuck hunt....
Quickest to limit?
Most shot in x amount of time?
Anyway keep me in the loop!

Well depending on the dates and location maybe the PairOfLabs with new pup could make a trailer trip back there. I'll be looking for some doggy binoculars so Parker and Brady can see those 200 yard bumpers drop. I'll send a PM
