2019 Mid-South Masters was held on June 13-16th at Triple B Fox Preserve in Wallace NC. We had an outstanding group of hunters from 4 states and Canada in attendance, some of the greatest judges on the East Coast, and a group of hounds that were ready to compete for the front end of a race. We could not have asked for better weather with lows in the upper 50's at cast time and highs in the low 80's at catch up time. All the makings of a perfect hunt.
I would like to thank everyone from the hunters, judges, Pen owners and the sponsors that made this hunt a success. MOH Mr. Clyde Sutton, BSJ and Ring Master, Gene and Donna Whaley, Terry Walker from Hunters Horn for his support, Mike Carr (Pride), Randy McGovern, Moose Jowers, and John Blanton (Showtime), and Randy Mace (Specialty Feeds) The Bond's Vaden, Jeremy and Chris for having the pen ready and in outstanding shape. Thanks again for all you do!
