A question about puppy hunts and judging question.
I have a question on the number of puppy hunts.
There is a huge over flow of puppy hunts in Eastern NC . It seems the majority run around the first Saturday and the turn out is low. Is it possible to spread between puppy hunts. Ask around and get the pens that are having the puppy hunts every month that are in say 50-75 miles of each other, to utilize the 4 weekends to have as few hunts around the same place on the same Saturday. This would allow the most people who are consistently puppy hunting to get to more hunts and for those judging hunts on the first Saturday to have a few options to to hunts. This would allow the best chance for a better turn out at hunts.
Basically get the closest pens to each to spread between puppy hunts and the ones judging get to go to the hunt closer by. Work up a land Mark distance and set up a small schedule that puts fewer hunts on top of each other on the same weekend, JUST A THOUGHT.
Second why don't the hunt associations get up a plan that shows the judges are a asset at the hunts. I know there were a few pens that recognized the judge with the highest number of crossings over a couple hunts, There at one time a pen I would run in announced the highest scoring judge. I don't know what works for showing gratitude for hustling to get on as many crossings possible while some sit in a chair and don't score anything over 50 feet away. Just a thought for discussion.
