Take the Greensburg/Fluker exit off of Interstate 55 and go west on Hwy 10. Travel approximately 15 miles. Take Hwy 448 to the south. Fox pen is 1/4 of a mile on the left. Look for white sign with orange writing.
There is no physical address for the pen itself but there is the Darlington Grocery store on Hwy 10 which is 1/4 mile north of the pen. The address for the store is 13827 Hwy 10 Greensburg, La 70441. If you can make it there just start looking for Hwy 448 and take it to the south.
Just wanted to make sure everybody knows the jambalaya dinner is part of your entry fee! The kitchen will be selling breakfast Saturday morning too so come hungry!!! The kids and I have been working all day getting things ready and we are really excited! Even picked up a few extra games at the party store! It's gonna be a great time! See y'all soon!!!
We can't wait till in the morning. I have been
to a lot of field trials and I get excited every
time but me and my family cannot wait till in
the morning. I have one grandson that is almost 3
and one that is two thats down from Illinois

My little girl is 3 and she has asked me every day for the last week "when is my field trial game?" I can't help but laugh. She's very excited about it and I am too! Gonna be a great hunt. Glad y'all are putting this on. See everyone in the morning.

Thank-you for putting this hunt on for the children. For our fanily, this will be a yearly event. But this year is very special for us! Josh's Dad, Terry, is going through treatment for Cancer and in the past year he has given up most of his fox hunting. But he really wanted to do this hunt with his 5 grandchildren. I am so thankful for my son, Josh, and his wife, Tiffany, for making this all possible for Josh's dad, Terry. I cannot wait for them to get home and share all the stories and memories that they have from the event.!!!! THANKS and God Bless you! Anna Kee, Terry's wife and Josh's Mom
Thank you all so much for the support of this hunt! It was such an awesome blessing to see all those kiddos having fun together today. It didn't matter who knew who they were all instant friends! I'm so thankful for people like each and everyone of you that keep this sport alive. Young and old alike all had an awesome time together and so many great memories were made. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
