Man, that hunt sure used to be a huge deal to us. Mentioning it brings back a flood of memories...
As big kids, 2-3 of us would pile in one of my old beater trucks and go out to the Battle for a weekend. We'd split a cheap hotel, talk dogs, hunt and eat fast food all weekend long. I'd nearly wear my boots out walking trade row studying pedigrees posted in the stalls and visiting with the old dog traders.
I got a couple breaks and placed a sorry (but lucky) dog one night and won a trophy that wouldn't fit in the cab of my S10. We rode all the way home with it sitting in the middle, sticking out the sliding back glass a half a foot above the cab. I checked the mail three times a day till that magazine came with my picture in it...
