I am a school teacher so my day ends earlier than most but it would be hard if not impossible for me to make a 6pm deadline at either of the two closest clubs to me.

i think its complete BS. why dont we just let the club hand out the win slips to who they want to and be done with the farce.
When I see a deadline like that I'm thinking that is a club that does not want entries. They want to title the club dogs without competition.
That may or may not be the actual case but that is certainly the impression I get from a 6:00PM weeknite deadline.

i drove 2 hrs to hunt assuming draw out was at 8 (every other club was) . followed directions that was in the book. i said 1 mile east of town. it was seven miles. i even tried to get there early just in case.. when i looked at the book for the ph # i noticed it was at 7. the time was 7:02 , i didnt even bother calling.

I went to a hunt one time with 6pm deadline on a Saturday night...........when I had asked why deadline was at 6pm, club president said he was a preacher and needed to be home early to get some sleep because of Sunday Worship Services.
Only problem was sun wasn't going down until another couple hours.

deadline
How can club members make it either , they work also !!!! I don't think it is for club members dogs , it is for the times of darkness !!! Most of the time people that gripe the most are ones that have never help put on a hunt in their life !!
Good to know that I am not the only one that thinks that a 6:00 deadline is crazy on a friday night. I even work an early shift and cant make it to the clubs that have hunts that early.

Heck there is a Major Event being held in the south (another KC) that has 6:00 deadlines Fri and Sat according to the flyer. I just don't get it. If you are afraid to hunt your dogs against the best possible competition then why have the dog?

I hunted in a Basset Field Trial a couple weekends back where deadline was 6am, LOL, I prefer the 7am deadlines, but I would rather rabbit field trial in the morning than late afteroon.
