Sources say the guide has provided some Grade A hunting for our Final Cast. Prime cornfields lay on either side of the cast.

Allen Gingerich says the corn must be 10 feet high!

The cast makes their way through the corn field toward Trina treed. She is handled and her handler opts for the first two minutes to be nothing but dim lights up into the canopy...

Shine Time Begins!!

Trina is locked up on a medium sized tree just inside the woods edge...

The two is up and the squallers come out 'a blazin'!

No word as to the whereabouts of Wild Bill... I heard that he is a wanted man!

Time for the heavy artillery... bright lights are working now. If they can't find him, they're gonna burn him out of there!

LOL just kidding... could you imagine?!?

Time is up on Trina's tree!

The verdict? Circle it up...

Unfortunately, Whizz came into Trina's tree right at the end of shine time. Her strike points are getting circled up...

The cast pulls Trina and Whizz away from the scored tree and starts heading toward the direction Bill can be heard opening.

53:20 left in the hunt. Mo is no where to be heard.

Current Score:

Whizz - 75- / 25 circle
Mo Tea - 250-
Wild Bill - 0
Trina - 175 circle

Whizz and Trina are led roughly 40 yards away and turned loose toward Wild Bill...

The judge jokingly tells handler Rick Stretch to turn him back toward the cast...

Stretch replies "Heck, I've been toning him the whole time!"

Rick is kidding of course, can't have a high tension cast like this one without a little tension breaking humor

The judge then asks the guide if Wild Bill might be working an Armadillo??

Guide replies "Sure sounds like a turtle to me!"

Currently, all dogs are loose and time is winding down.

Wild Bill is doing the majority of the talking on his trail.

Bill is being thoroughly drowned out by the back and forth banter between handlers Rick Stretch and Jamie Wilson.

Allen G says they are discussing swapping stud fees on Mo and Bill after everything is said and done...

Lots of good humor and kind remarks floating around in the air tonight.

It's probably mostly Rick Stretch laughing at all of his own jokes. He's a classy guy like that...

Not much action to be reported on from the hounds in this ball game.

Looks like things could come down to minute scores in this late round Final Cast!

Who has the upper hand? Who still has a few tricks left up their sleeve?

Bill is still running his trail, but the rest of the back has remained mostly silent...

Whizz has just dropped by to check on the cast members waiting patiently for something to happen.

I think she smells that hot dog Stretch keeps in his back pocket for nights like this

Trina is struck in for 50!

Remember, Wild Bill and Mo are still holding on to their strike points from earlier on in the hunt time.

Whizz Bang moves on out after Trina opened up a short distance in front of the cast.

Judge determines Trina isn't moving from where she is currently located, so a stationary time has been started on the Walker female.

Justin Cooper, Trina's handler tonight, opts to let the stationary time run.

Trina is a mere 50 yards in front of the cast, could she possible be sitting under the cast winning coon?

27:23 remain of hunting time.

Mo Tea is finally heard by the rest of the cast. Seems like he's hanging around Trina as her stationary time works...

That little bit of pressure from Mo was enough to trigger Justin Cooper into declaring Trina treed for 125!

Trina is no longer heard barking treed. Two minutes is running...

Mo Tea finds a better smelling tree just 100 yards down from Trina... he starts to tree a little bit, but doesn't sound too convinced.

Trina is minuses 125... two minutes got her.

Mo picks up the slack and is declared treed for 125!

Whizz Bang strikes behind the cast back in the cornfield for 25!

Mo shuts up for a little bit and has the 2 minutes applied to his tree.... which he promptly breaks!

3.5 minutes gone on Mo's tree. Trina is heard working close toward Mo in the woods.

5 is up on Mo! Cast proceeds to the area where he is treed.

Cast has to hold up and run the 2 minutes on Mo again...

The 2 minutes is broke! Heading into him once more.

Current Score:


Whizz - 75- / 25 circle

Wild Bill - 0
Trina - 125- / 175 circle

Sounds like Mo was a little bit deeper then anyone anticipated, cast is still in route to his tree.

Trina makes a lap by the cast crossing a creek. Handler Justin Cooper calls for her to be minused on track!
