National Bird Dog Challenge Coming to WA ! [/align][hr]

The National Bird Dog Challenge (as seen on the Outdoor Channel) is coming to WA. Burlington Ranch (just South of Chewelah) is hosting the event.
It will be held on September 22 - 23.
In essence, you can enter your dog in either the Pointing division or the Flushing division. There are two "levels" in each division. The top three dogs in the "Top Gun" divisions split the entry fee pot 50/30/20 ! ! ! So if you and your dog are a great hunting team, you can not only have a lot of fun, but make some $$ as well. In order to run in these events, you need to be a member of BDC ($35 per year - June to June).
3 Chukars will be planted in a 12 acre field. You are given 6 shotgun shells and (*I think*) 15 minutes to hunt the field. You are scored on the number of Points or Flushes, number of birds harvested, number of shells left over and amount of time left.

If you've ever watched NBDC on TV, you already know how much fun it will be, and it's going to be a great way to get you and your dog tuned up for the upcoming Pheasant Season.
