Correction to above notice, Numbers Book will open on Feb. 8 at 6 PM to 9 central.

Still having great running and hope some of you will give it a try. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Winner of the final with minimum entries should easily win over a grand and tenth place will get your money back plus. Naturally the more pups the better the payback! So ya'll come.

Thanks,
Butch

PS Sorry I haven't called you Brandon but just checked back here and saw your reply, been super busy and my phone is temporarily out of order . I didn't see a listing for their hunt as I wouldn't have stepped on their date. I wanted to make it a qualifying hunt with a final for a nice payback. To fit it into a winter series I needed to finish up before March 20 so I'll just go ahead with the current dates. Hopeful you and others who might miss the first one can make the March 5, or better, you and Rob could split up one weekend and kick sand on the competition in two different counties on the same day -LOL ! Call you as quick as I can Buddy.

Road to facility gate is located two hundred yards south of 3156 County Road 033, (LaFayette, Alabama) and 100 yards north of Center Baptist Church. Look for sign. Gate will be open from 6:45 to 7:45 AM eastern (5:45 - 6:45 central) for your convenience. Plan to run 8 to 11 am eastern, 7 to 10 central.

Speed and Drive hunt run under modified Masters, National and AFBA rules. Young derbys and pups must be scratched by minimum of (3) three field judges. Only Home Plate can single scratch for Crated or Return to Cast. We plan to try to score them not eliminate them if at all possible.

Whelped Jan. 1, 2015 and after hounds only. Thanks for your cooperation on this. A ringer could win but what have you really accomplished by such tactics?
