Default RE: Fiel Trials

WhatI have seen here is all foot trails, but, I have not seen all that they have in the notheast either. They consist of old logging roads that have grown up and foot trails cut along alder swails. walking through those braces was alot of fun and I recieved alot of advice. Those folks were very friendly and keeps the door open for new members. It is a great sport to witness with several different breeds going through the braces. My only problem was watching a national field trail. I noticed one group had lost there dog and we had hunted along time to try and find it. When the dog was found it was over where another brace was getting ready to start. This was a champion dog competeing for a national title. From what I saw I thought wow and this one made to a national? I mentioned it to one of the organizors and he said yeah sometimes you have to wounder about it.
Perhaps it was just a bad day or something, as some were chasing rabbits as well. But, all in all it was a great thing to see going on and helping them out any way I could as a thank you to them for letting me tag along.

I hope to trial this year but, it depends on my work. As I work a 3 on 3 off 12 hour shifts night and day. With the downsizing and all sometimes I am stuck with 7 days and7 nights back to back. But, I am trying to get them in a trial here.
