Michigan Amateur Draw and Michigan Hunting Dog Draw
Posted by Bob Wheelock on 4/2/2024, 7:24 pm
Thanks to all the folks who entered this first trial of the season at the Gladwin Field Trial Area. The weather forecast couldn't be better, the birds around the grounds are in good shape. We will be busy, this is one of the biggest draws we've had in years and that includes about 5 entries that had to drop yesterday for various reasons. Saturday will be the Judd Kinne Memorial Shooting Dog Classic and the Chuck Pagano Memorial Puppy Classic. Saturday morning plan to meet at the Alibi Hall at 7:30. Once we have our judges and the handlers for the 1st brace we will head to course 4 to start the day. After we get the Shooting dog started the horse trailer will head to the "old" puppy course, the course we have used for the last decade and start that event.
Sunday is the crazy day, running concurrently is the Chester Halley Memorial Derby Classic and the Michigan Hunting Dog Classic. This will be the challenge it always is, keeping things rolling and all in line.
I request the Hunting Dog guys to be at the Alibi at 7:30 AM. Unless you are very familiar with the grounds It can be very challenging to find us once we leave the Alibi. You are welcome and encouraged to walk all the braces you care to walk, we ask that you leave you keys in your vehicle so it can be moved to the next course. We also ask, after you have run hook up with someone and leave your vehicle somewhere so it doesn't have to be moved. We move both handlers trucks first and return for the others as we can. We only have 30 minutes each brace to get this complete. Luch will be served, probably in the woods and that will be posted in a couple days, we need to finalize those details.
The Alibi Hall, an old barn where we meet in the morning and the end of the day. Google Maps, type in House Lake State Forest Campground, follow the route. Cell phone calls are not reliable, text messages get thru better. On the map the white lines are the roads we use. It can be difficult to see but the entrance on the west end, West Gate and the east end, the East Gate will be locked. You can only enter on Joy road, straight south of the Alibi off Meredith Grade Rd.
