With 395 hounds entered the kind getting judged is just about every kind under the sun from every corner of the foxhunting world. The kind getting scored the most are the ones who spend most of the day in the front part of the races. A dog won't score well unless he is actually in the running and in scoring position all day long.
Why ya want to bash a outside race?? A lot of pen dogs can't get in a outside race. Not saying anything bad about any dogs at this hunt. Just sticking up for a outside race
Never meant to start anything here. Just was sticking up for the outside chase! 395 of the finest hounds in the world in this hunt and I'm sure whoever is scored in the top deserve to be.
37 judges from eight different states.... 300 :points: doesn't get you in the top 40 I don't believe.... please explain about the dogs and judges ska.... I'd love to know
Hank, don't waste you time with the arm chair QB's. I'm not at the hunt but I've heard, seen and read about the hustle you've put forth into making this a great hunt. The stats you just posted speak for themselves: 300 SD and still outta the top 40. Sounds like you've got enough judges to keep them covered and reeled them in from all over the country.
Outside hunter ? I think he prolly means a dog can't cut slash run the road alot and run silent as much out side as one can in a pen and still score good bc if a dog is doing that outside the race be long gone 👍👍 good luck every body

3054 scores recorded yesterday
The pen has been wet for about 3 days... But it was sunny and perfect yesterday and looks to stay that way.... the roads were drying up good yesterday afternoon and it should be another monster day today.
Definitely no place for dodgeball players.
Henk, you guys and gals have done a Great job with this years Masters hunt. I think this is one of the biggest ones in a while. By your reports sounds like the pen is rocking, an awesome slate of judges, and a outstanding group of fine quality hounds. This my friends is the Daytona of field trials. Good luck to everyone and let's all support each other. If you own any kind of hunting dog let's stand together and not bash each other.
