The Blue Spring Open was held September 19-21, 2013 in the Blue Spring Wildlife Management Area of the Conecuh National Forest in Covington County, AL. We had really great running all three days on native coyote, fox, and deer. This years hunt was organized by Christy, Timmy, and Bobby Freeman and Radar. We had 13 judges with several of them being mounted on horses. We gave away Showtime, Caliber, and Pride dog feed to the winners along with some really nice crystal and some gift certificates. We were able to give away prizes with a cash value that exceeded the money we collected in entry fees. We thank Paul Tribble for letting us use the Carolina Running Pen for our HQ and we thank Mrs. Sylvia for cooking for all the judges and the hunters. We also thank Mid South Feeds, Specialty Feeds, Pride, Gun Dog Supply, Johnson Telemetry, and Quick Track for their donations.

On the first day of the hunt Bowen's Jackson scored 460 S&D points before breaking on times. He finished the day with 340 points. On day two the high hound finished with 330 points, and on day three Top Flite Brittany finished with 350 S&D points. Over 12,000 points were scored in S&D over the three days of the hunt.
