This national trial is at the top of my list of all time favorites, pen in great shape that would test the endurance and speed of any hound, the pen owner being on their game in every aspect of the trial. SC did a great job hosting the hunt hitting each area in a fair timely and consistent manner. The positive attitudes from owners / handlers helping each other from catching dogs to sharing opinions was done in a truely helping way. Perhaps most impressive was the quality of hounds cast at this hunt, if you place congrats because your hound sure earned it. All I can say if you were not happy with this hunt you need to see your doctor about getting some happy pills because it was a top knotch hunt. Take care and see everyone next year. Kevin

I agree with Kevin, very good hunt and to test the heart of your dogs is an understatement. Congrats again to Austin and Mike on their wins at this year’s nationals and to all that placed. Great job to the South Carolina folks for putting on an awesome hunt and thanks again to all the vendors that supported us so please support them. It’s going about 14hrs west of me next year and hopefully I’ll be able to make it, till then safe running to all.
