I like the stud dog auction i think it gives yur average joe whos wife would murder them if they spent 300 on a stud fee the chancd to breed to them and helps out the youth its a win win situation and gives these stud dogs a chance to breed a female they wouldnt normaly be able to

as many of you know, i work till eight then drive an hour to hunt.that makes it a late night for kids to hunt. i do take kids hunting about 20-30 nights a year. the kids of mine have absolutely no interest so they have never been hunting. i did volunteer to guide one cast for the youth hunt and could have arranged another guide if needed. i was not needed. i did this last year for the youth hunt and was needed then. while this thread about raising money for the youth is all about the money, i do understand that we all need to do more than raise money. i would hope that you wouldn't automatically assume that i would not do something for the kids just because you have not been made aware that i do.

It is kinda getting tough to find kids that want to go hunting, I've even had some pretty good dogs that i've offered to get some kids hunting and no takers, just not a ton of interest in my area, i would have killed for some of the stuff my buddy's and i have offered when i was a youngster....oh well, it will pick up i'm sure

yes, and its just not the kids that are hard to encourage to start up. this is a fun sport once you know whats going on, but it is tough getting started. when i started in my mid twenties,i started pretty much green. the guy i had been hunting with didnt [or very rarely] comp hunt. so when i went to comp i had to learn it all on my own. for the newcomers today, it would sure be good to be able to steer them to an experienced comp hunter who could explain how things work. but the problem is that those who are doing most of the talking arent the best to be doing the talking[possibly myself included], and the guys who keep their mouths shut are the ones who should be talking. if every first time comp hunter could be referred to someone like bob hennessey,cliff ladue, shane marcyes to get a tutorial from them, our hunts might be better attended. first timers need to understand that there will be times that they feel cheated, when in fact the rules required them to be minused for that situation. how many first timers got minused for their dog coming in, meeting off the tree, treeeing loosely, etc and thought they were cheated?
