Starting August 14th at 8:00 AM and ending August 28th at 10:00 PM, anyone wishing to run hounds should call association secretary Craig Nobles at (252) 626-9801 to get their name on a membership list for the 2016 NC State.

Once this period is over, the number of memberships will be divided into 300 and each person will be called back in the order they got their membership. Each person will be offered an amount of entries and pick their numbers for these entries.

Once a person receives their numbers, they have seven days to get their money to the secretary for their full entries and membership. If the money is not received in the allotted time, the entries and hound numbers will be offered to another person in a fair and consistent manner.

This process will leave only one thing for the hunters to do on Wednesday, September 21st when they arrive at the hunt, that is to provide the secretary an entry sheet with their hounds information and the number they are assigning to each hound.

Everything will be done to ensure there are 300 entries for this field trial if at all possible.
