This May, Gilli & Mel placed second in the Whispering Pines Chuckar Challege. Congratulations!!! This one day
event was a tournament style hunting that included both flushing and
pointing dog divisions. The event is timed and scored with 5 chukar partridge
released per run, Dog and man teams had 25 minutes to hunt for
flush, shoot, retrieve and bag as many of those five as possible. Each
hunter had 10 shells to use during the course of his run. Points were awarded
for flushes, birds retrieved, shells turned in and any unused minutes.
Nine teams (dog/man) entered the event this year with most of the dogs entered
being pointing breeds.
