Colt
Colt was entered in a few more hunts this year, and same results as always, a high rate of cast wins. He currently sits at the top of the Champions Classic Hunt standings, is qualified for the Tournament of Champions, was qualified for the World Hunt, and picked up some money won in his only pkc Hunt of the year.
At the zones Colt was under 3 of his own Coon, one more than the winner. With two mistakes by me and one tree unfortunately being scored as a single tree touching the winners tree despite being 8-10yards apart, he didn’t get a CW. Hunting against 2 other guys who made the Top 100 last year. Went home after night one as I thought the single cast winners advancing would need a much higher score, and knowing I had a long drive and lots of things to take care of before work on Monday. Wish we could have stuck around, but thrilled to see that he stacks up well against these other dogs in the Zones.
Unfortunately for colt he is hunted well outside of the coonhunting hot spots of the country, he is hunted by someone who isn’t a promoter or doesn’t have the name recognition that can get females coming in from all over. He is simply a dog that makes a high rate of first trees with the Coon in them, and comes away with a high rate of cast wins regardless of the quality of competition. I know that’s what I’m looking for, I’d think other would as well.
References available of guys that have hunted with him numerous times, or bring your boots and a coondog to hunt against him to see how he stacks up.
