I would say 30/40 is good these days. Ours went from 3 or 4 to 11 or 12.

I like that idea we hav a hunt every month with a point system and the winner that night gets their $5 dollar entry fee back but I like that idea a little better it brings even the guy with the young dog a chance to win money as well

We have a hunt every month also. $10 entry. Winners split money. Then we have a point system. Hunting this yr for $120 dollars back. That's in top of other winnings. It usually starts off great. Till about july. Gets hot. Vacations and summer stuff happens. Then in about Oct it picks back up. Coon hunters come and go. You'll have a bunch for a few yrs. Then a few will quit. A new batch will start and over and over.
