Had a blast at the Trenton Deer Field Trial today. The club and Ronnie Cox did an outstanding job along with Master of Hounds Tommy McLamb and the 40 plus judges. The hunters turned out strong too with the entry being 532 hounds. I had the pleasure of running the computer with the help of Mert Sanders and Kevin Mills. Thanks to Dave Wride and his wonderful computer program. Hunt was over at 12:15 and we were ready to give it out at 2:15, but they decided to wait to 3:00 so all the hunters could be there. Here are the results:

A lot of dogs for one kennel to get that many trailing scores and a hunting score.Wonder if anybody paying attention.Worth a look I would say.

Not when the kennel enters 25 - 30 hounds at every hunt.

There aren't many hunters who feed their hounds more tracks than J&R. Their hounds EARN their scores!

Check judges numbers in a hunt or two always tells the tale

Nothing to check here Ross has some fine hounds does his homework all year and shows up ready with 25 + hounds all you need to do is go with him one Saturday.Ain't no need in getting upset with someone who puts in the work and gets results

Tony Smith I don't believe that's your name ? you sound a little muffled maybe your point of view is obstructed by your rectum ?

Is that you Aaron?

Come to Maules Point and run with him one day and you will see why he gets his name called.

Why is everyone making a big deal about j@r hes always took 25 head ive been going for awhile and no one brings as many dogs as he does... dont be mad becuse your dog cant do it... I bring 1 dog and placed him its all in what bring... just saying...

It all started when some people started fussing about the 252 series being won by a guy 5 min down the road and somebody said that the other series does not get complained on every time somebody places something. think it is some wash over from that.

The more you win.The more haters hate.I know what that's like.But I have to say I understand how three trailing scores out of over five hundred dogs when there is only seven given away could make people wonder.I know having good hounds,being a good dog man,and hauling a large number helps,but the odds are low of that happening.Only thing you can do is hope people have enough integrity to let the system work as it was intended.If you are winning and know it's legit,let the haters hate and enjoy the moment.

How many people have bred this trait out of their hounds? Most people will tell you that they don't want their hounds to open on a piece of game until it's up and on its feet. I used to have quite a few that would trail and open on a track and now I'm down to 2 that will. I sure wished I had some of my old blood back in my pack. Maybe Ross has found a cross that will trail one. I see that he placed more in trailing than in hunting. I feel that if it was hunting scores I would have more questions. JMO.

Mr. Smith,
Take it for what it's worth- I don't have clue what a hunting, trailing score etc. is, but if my husband earned it- then he darn sure deserved it! It's not often I would take up for him - especially when it comes to dogs.... But his newborn daughter and I spend A MANY a day, night and weekend without him so that he can be with those dogs getting them ready for this very "field trialing" season. So for someone to have the audacity to think scores would be skewed, must not know the whole story.... Hope this helps a little. I'm sure he, or anyone else that knows the real story would be more than happy to fill you in on J&R.
Happy Hunting!
