We had our meeting tuesday night to finalize plans for the 2012 Ogeechee River Three Day. It is shaping up to be one of the best yet. We should have 25-30 judges,to score your hounds. We have just purchased a new computor and have the program in place from Mr Wride. This will help get the scores out a lot quicker. We also have four tons of feed to be given away. At this time we have over 14 breedings to be given away from some of the top Stud Hounds in the nation at our raffle. Also lots of other great things to be given away, with more to come. As I said before the pen is in outstanding shape. It should be all the running the hounds and hunters could want. Dont miss this one, it may go down as the best Ogeechee ever. And dont forget the Georgia, South Carolina{friendly} rivalry. Look forward to seeing you there. More to come.
God Bless

Bobby Parker, I think I overheard Uncle Gomer say he wanted 5 or either 6 numbers for the Ogeechee....you may want to call him and double check just how many it was.....He said you and Marvin told him yall would pay the entry. He is taking a bulldog, 2 cur dogs, a lab, a chow/boxer cross, and a bluetick.....
Yeah JJ, got me a red dog. Not sure how nice he is, but he is red. I want to place one so bad at the Ogeechee, I got a red dog. LoL!!! Give them boys something to talk about anyway.
God Bless

I hear Bobby Smith is the person to watch he is bring some strong heat. He the person that won last year hunt and is not giving it up the title with out a fight.
Mr marvin,
There's a difference in me going this year than last year...I don't have a super star like johnny Jane to load up! I hope all of ludowici is strong at the ogeechee...we been on them hounds hard and having fun doing it!
The pen is absolutely the best it has ever been in the 20 plus years i've been going there. This one will be one to remember. Some of the ones to look out for are Freemon and Son Kennels, SWS kennels, Smackdown Kennels, South Ga Poor Boys Kennels, Bobby Smith, Phil Hicks, Mater, and the rest of that crew, not sure if Congaree Kennels is coming or not, but watch them if they do, All In Kennels,Jack Prescott, Bobby Cambell, Claude Roberson, and more than I can remember right now. Oh yeah, can't leave out Buck Island Kennels. My sleeper is Tubby Cowart. Don't count him out. Anyway, a lot of great hunters and hounds will be there, with one thing in mind, " WIN THE GEECHEE. " Good luck to all.
God Bless
Bobby

God bless,
Bobby smith
Bobby, if I remember right you boxed us. You must have some pretty tuff hounds yourself. One thing for sure, it will be on next week. I hear the South Carolina crew done claiming this years title. What you going to do bout that?
God Bless
Bobby
Mr bobby I only boxed ha cuz I had a gyp tht went a lil nutty...but I will take it any way I can get it lol...I can't do anything about the sc crew crossing the river and coming for revenge! They always have tough hounds.
Just a little update for ya. The Ogeechee is only a few days away. Hunters are still calling and getting numbers. If you haven't got numbers yet, it's not to late. It's gonna be a heck of a hunt. We have 4 tons of feed to give away. The HGA winners will recieve a really nice hat, and a nice blanket, along with lots of dog feed. We have 14 free breedings to be given away at our raffle. Also to be given away at the raffle, we have a BBQ Grill, CD Player, DVD Player, several Knives, Lounge Chairs, Tracking Collars, 50 dollars off Tracking Collars, free pen running, and lots more. Make plans to be there. You don't want to miss the Ogeechee River this year, it may go down as the best one ever.
God Bless

Lock and load fellows! This is the week. Lets here everybodys predictions for derby and all age winner. Will there be a double repeat or will somebody new claim this one?
I'm hoping for a repeat...def wishing everyone good luck tho. Gunna be fun! Hicks kennels will be tough, leebo, bobby Parker, marvin deloach, reddot, tubby, there they r again, Bub and bay, Jerry Stapelton, etc etc etc...everyone gunna be tough. Everyones been workin there dogs hard...no way to predict this one. Good luck n god bless
I agree,everyone is going to be tough,but there is an old man(HAHA) out of Fla. coming who is double tough.I'm not going to mention his name(see if you can guess).I will give a hint,he carries only white dogs and he's from Florahome Fla.Wish I could be there,but I don't have anything that can compete with ya'll.Have a good day today,and a better one tomorrow.John
I think there will be some tough hounds coming from all around. I'm sure those SC hunters are coming their guns cocked and ready. I know Bobby Smith has his hounds in shape and ready to role, maybe even trying for a repeat of last year. Good luck to everyone should be a great hunt
Just found out yesterday, that Allens Outdoors will be coming to the hunt. Thanks for coming. Hunters please support him, he's coming a long way, and fuel is very expensive.
God Bless
Bobby
When are you guys going to wake up. As long as you run by national rules you are always going to have a second rate hunt. Don't look back that time has come and gone. Sock it away in the memories folder. It's time for move on.
Ogeechee is far from a second rate hunt. No matter what dog wins it...one thing is for sure...its a nice hound. We shouldn't be knocking down hunts weather they are masters or national but support the sport and the building up of fox hunting and field trialing! Good luck to everyone and god bless!
Mr. Collins, opinions are like cell phones, everybodys got one. You are certainly entitled to yours. But so am I. Second rate? Don't think so. The Ogeechee River has consistantly been the largest hunt in the state of Ga for years. Even in these challlenging times we had over 400 entries last year, and should have that this year. I would like to personally invite you to our hunt. Bring the best you have and see how they do. I'm sure you have some great hounds, even though I've never heard of them, or you.
God Bless
Bobby
If u want to mrcollins go run grey hounds. We on the other hand will be running some of the finest "hunting" hounds around this week. I stress hunting. Bring your hounds on Mr Collins. Heck we might could even take up a collection just to pay for a couple of your hounds just so we could see what you are holding. Thanks and happy hunting Kurt or whoever u are which really doesnt matter. Its a computer so you can be anyone you want unless you show up in person.
I've been to the Ogeechee River, have you been to the World Cup at Lancaster, SC or a hunt at Olney, Il or watched the sunrise at Stoney's. My hounds do have greyhound in them and so do a lot of hounds that have papers showing full blood Walkers. You guys crack me up. Maybe you have just never seen a fast hound run.
