IA,MN,Wisc youth hunt coordinators
Had several people ask at Wisc. event ,why are all 3 states were having their event on same date!!! Told them poor communication, I guess!! I knew Iowa was held on different date last year because something got messed up & Anamosa held in Aug.
Well, lets' start planning now for next year, so this isn't happening again. I have a plan that we could call- Tri-State Youth Challenge or whatever, if someone has better title. Schedule your youth state hunt on different dates from June thru August, when all kids are out of school. Hopefully, not on back to back weekends either, so that it wouldn't make it so tiring or hard for families to travel again, so soon. Talk to each other, so you could get these hunts set up.
Try to pick locations that could be within fairly easy driving conditions for all that want to participate, for all 3 states. Example of sites that wouldn't work- northern MN next to Canadian border, far SW IA & Green Bay/Milwaukee area for next summers schedule.
I will personally put up $500 to the YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP for this 3 state event- $200 to high junior, $200 to high senior & $100 more to high overall. Most CW from the 3 events would win, with tie breaker being most plus points per CW added together according to UKC rules. Winner would have to participate in at least 2 out of 3 events. Anyone else wanted to donate, we could make bigger pot & split for 13 up & 12 down age groups.
For bench show kids, have the 3 state winners show against each other at last of 3 events.I'd even kick in $100 to start that pot or if we got more donations, split pot for overall & reserve.
Just a thought to maybe get something in the planning stages early enough to make it happen in 2020. Take care, Ron.
