Fellow NABFCA Members,
We held our 7th hunt of the year November 1, 2008 at the Old Tram Fox Pen in Whiteville, NC. I would like to thank Willard and Mitchell White for allowing us to hold our trial at their fine facility. The running was excellent and continuous.
The pen was loaded with coyotes and red foxes. We also had delicious sausage dogs for breakfast and chicken bog with all the trimmings for lunch. Special thanks to all the judges for taking the time to help judge. Female class was 890 to win - 460 to get in. Male class was 760 to win - 390 to get in. Congratulations to Sandy Branch Slim and Chad Brown for winning the Male class and to A & A Crybaby and A&A Kennels for winning the Female class. The Classiest Hound was Sandy Branch Slim and Best Mouth was Holland’s Jezebel owned by Fred Holland. It was a good hunt with fellowship which was enjoyed by all. Everyone is really looking forward to another hunt at Old Tram in the future. Once again thanks to the White family for having us.
Our 8th hunt of the year was held at Foxfire fox Pen in Paxville, SC on November 8, 2008. It was once again a great hunt with continuous running well beyond the four hour hunt. At this time we would like to thank Woody and Perry Corbett, pen owners, and MOH, Stanley Corbett, and all the judges for a job well done. The breakfast and lunch was very good also. Good weather, good running and good food made for a great day of fun. Congratulations to A&A Crybaby and A&A Kennels, 1st place Female & Classiest Hound and (GFC) Out West Smokey G and Brooky Evans 1st place Male and Best Mouth. It took 825 to win the female and 300 to get in. It took 705 to win the male and 260 to get in.
I would like to thank Pride Dog Food for their sponsorship of the NABFCA. Pride is the best feed I have ever used and many members use it exclusively. Once again, Pride Dog Food we thank you. Our fall Puppy/Derby Hunt will be November 22, 2008 at the Gator Bay Fox Pen in Pamplico, SC. The NABFCA Championship Hunt will be December 6, 2008 at Poston’s Fox Pen in Johnsonville, SC.

Hello Member’s,
How did everyone’s break go? Hope everyone had a great vacation and time to get their hounds in shape and ready to get started for a Great series of fall events.
We had a few issues to discuss on the future of our new and fast growing association. We the members as a whole made some changes not to limit our association to any boundaries. In doing so, this let’s our pen owner’s know that we appreciate everything that they do for our association. Without them and the great hunts they put on for us our sport would not be a success.
As discussed and voted on by the members starting in January, the first hunt of the 2008 season the entry fee will go up to $20.00 per hound.
We held our 6th hunt of the season and congratulations are in order. We also have many thanks to give.
