David and I truly appreciate the responses so far. Keep in mind this is a YOUTH HUNT. With that being said, I would like to take all donated items and do either raffles and/or silent auction. Some children at this hunt will not have a use for field trial items and such. We will be returning the money donated and raised back to the children. Of course, if somebody would like to donate a Z71 or a vette, I don't see why we can't give that to them. I promise if my child wins one, I will test drive it just until she gets her license.

We are in need of some children to volunteer to help take entries, check numbers, help fill out roll call cards, etc. The assistant MOH will also be a child. Any child that would rather judge and learn more about doing it will be buddied with an adult judge in the field. I will be running the computer program and I strongly encourage some of our younger generation computer whizzes to sit and learn with me. In the coming years, this will be a nice source of income for some of them.

I have contacted the Sergeant over the NC Wildlife office in that area and they are planning to have a 45 minute to hour long class on the importance of hunter safety and issues as they pertain to our children. Cliff Parker will also be teaching a class on prepping a hound for bench shows, what bench show judges are looking for and giving some East Coast tips.

This day will be a learning experience for the next generation. This is their day. My goal is to expose them to every aspect of a field trial, the work involved on both sides of the table. It takes parti****nts and it takes organizers. For our sport to continue, we need both.

well what about childs size tee shirsts with a hunt logo on it i know ive dealt with several vendors on here that do a super job that would love to do some for the cause.??????????????? maybe i can muster up a weekend at alantic beach for a auction for the kids to be taken to by there parents..ill check......

i also think we should take a speeddogs poll on a dunkin booth.to raise money im sure vaden bonds and ronnie norris would volunteer..............i cant get wet because of to much metal in me so dont even try

It is with great pride and joy that I am able to announce that The North Carolina Concerned Sportsman Association is the first platinum sponsor of the NC Youth Hunt. This is super organization that works hard to defend our rights and privileges to hunt and own hunting dogs. The NCCS will not only be giving $1000.00, they will also be donating food and help preparing meals for this one of a kind hunt. I want to thank all the other sponsors also for their help.
