The situation I'm talking about is lack of interest in the state, which leads to lack of participation in the state events.
We need to ask people that used to hunt in the state events why they quit attending and what will bring them back.
We need to ask new people what we can do to attract them.
Instead of making blind changes hoping for a turn around, because what ever we are doing now aint working at all.!!!!!!
One thing I can see that would help, and other people have told me this as well. I think we should give more prizes that save people money now not later. Like dog feed, cash, heck even whole corn, and coon candy would be a good prize.
I know I'd rather have $150.00 worth of feed than a new light that I might be able to sell for $150.00 in a month or so and will never use personally.
I know I'd rather win $400.00 cash than a dog box that nobody can afford to buy from me, and I don't need or want cause I like the one I have better.
Maybe I'm just different, but seems to me that an aweful lot of people are telling me the same things. Also is seems to be working well for the federation. I mean look at the final hunt last year, they quit taking entries at 80 dogs.
Josh has an awesome point about the local guys that I never really thought about. I can think of 6 or 8 myself.
I know one fella that has told me that he aint letting his two boys go to a comp hunt with me cause of all the fighting, arguing, and so on and he don't want them around it.
I'm pretty sure the dad has never been to a comp hunt in his life, but he has heard enough at the barber shop and coffee shop to prevent to young boys from getting into the sport.
