So long old friend.

I have spent many Friday and Saturday nights with you, many spent with you at the protest of my wife and family as well as other friends who couldn't understand my reasoning. I have traveled with you from the Canadian border to the Gulf shores and over to the Atlantic coast. Wore out trucks, boots and even wore out my welcome a few times but I always stuck with you. When gas prices were high I didn't get to enjoy your company as much, but still made every effort to be there when I could afford to be. For the biggest part we always saw eye to eye through the years, and I had nothing but respect for you and what you were trying to accomplish. However, now I can no longer see the point in continuing this friendship. With the sport of competition hunting slowly dyeing on it's own due to loss of hunting ground and hunters growing old and fading away I just don't feel like the UKC hunts are the best place for me to be anymore. I will still help the local clubs out and judge the bench shows for them when I don't have other plans but it will no longer be a priority for me as I won't be hunting in the regular UKC hunts for a while. I still plan to hunt an RQE if I think I have the right dog to go to the world finals and compete at that level, but for the biggest part my time will be spent with friends I left behind on the weekends for years and family. So, I will just say in closing that while I met a lot of great people at the hunts and had a lot of fun traveling around and hunting in different parts of the country those days are over for me. I won't say goodbye to my old friend UKC, at this point, so see you later.

Good post. We all have left people behind for the events. I see your reasoning. Wish you the best in semi-retirement.

George

You will be missed. This post was heartfelt and hit home to many of us that chased the hunts back in the day. Best wishes to you in the future. Dave

Man how I can relate to that. Its amazing that some of us even have family left from chasing these hunts all over creation. That and lack of hunting ground available is making very difficult to even want to get out the chair and load a dog. I can feel every word, and some.
