The Leaderboard Program recognized the winners for 2009 at the Masters banquet , held at Pamplico , SC.
We were able to recognize the top 20 in the four categories this year, and Debbie Johnson from Johnson's Telemetry recognized all the ladies in attendance with a special gift for each of them.
I would especially like to thank David Bailey and Robin Barefoot for all they did.
In 2009, with the help of the Hunter's Horn magazine , Black Gold feeds , Johnson's Telemetry, and the leaderboard fund , we were able to give back to the hunters the following awards :
The top 10 in the Black Gold Hound of the year split $5000 ~ with Touchdown SuperSport and Mr Charles Graham winning $1000 and a fine jacket supplied by Black Gold feeds. Mr. Allan with Black Gold could not make the ceremony this year , but Larry Peevy went above and beyond with his help. Mr. Peevy also took the pictures at the banquet. Look for them in the upcoming Hunters Horn.
Archie Hucks and Cliff Parker each won $250 and embroidered jackets , for winning the DOY and SOY with Hucks' Maggie, and East Coast Dylan.
The top 10 in both the Dam of the year and Sire of the year also recieved a years subscription to the Hunter's Horn magazine, courtesy of Terry Walker with the Horn.
The Johnson's Telemetry Kennel of the Year went to JW Webb & Clyde Ely. They recieved 1 ton of Showtime Feed and 6 bags of Intimidator puppy feed and each recieved an embroidered jacket.
The runner up in KOY recieved a tracking box , and 3rd place recieved 4 recovery collars.
4th place thru 10th , each recieved a recovery collar. And 11th thru 20th , each recieved a $50 gift certificate from Johnson's Telemetry.
In addition to this , each of the top ten in all 4 categories recieved a personalized license plate with their winning hound , provided by Bobbi-Jo with BBGraphics. And the top 20 in all categories recieved certificates of recognition.
