Does this mean they will be on hand to clean up doggie accidents?

I guess my father was correct when he said son, it doesn't take much for
somebody to be a little disrespectful or unapprecitive. I guess now i need
to explain the reason for helping sfhrc that's simple "goosebruce" he's a
good friend we've known each other along time and if he ever needs anything he knows he can call me. It's probably time to sum this up if goosebruce doe's something else my money will follow. Travis i'm glad to help out as always hope ya'll have fun and pass alot of dogs.


Goodluck

Widgeon,

If it was my comment regarding doggie accidents that you thought was disrespectful or unappreciative...I apologize. By no means was I trying to degrade your company. I know SF appreciates your generosity. Thanks for helping!

We very much appricate all of the folks that have helped us. SEG is the latest, and biggest contribtor to date. JP is right, he is a very good friend of mine, and honestly, his company probably won't profit much from our partnership. But he can feel good about helping a lot of his friends have a bang up time, when commitments wont allow him to be there. This fall he will have a brand new baby boy, and his hunt tests will probably be lived vicarously by boards like this, and people telling him about them. It'd be easy to turn his back on hrc at a time like this, instead he stepped up. In the past, compaines like Infinti of Memphis, rowdydogg, online labs, K-9 Advantix and Covington Pike Toyota have made contributions that helped us feed everyone, and put on a big party. Those partys have become our financial freedom, allowing us to spend what we want, instead of what we can, on our tests. Everytime you see a judge come to southern flight with texas, or illnois, or west la plates, you know I spent more to give everyone what I thought was the best possible experience. I can spend that on judges, and birds, and niceities 99% of people have no ideal we spent, because of our sponsors. A lot of compaines are in the open, Purina & Tritronics support is evident by their product. Some compaines, its hard to see the full extent, like Avery. Sure we have lots of product of theirs in the raffle, thats obvious. But when David Carrington and the folks at Avery work with us to provide really nice judges gifts, at a reduced cost, thats the same as a check written to us. And every event has a dozen different compaines or indiviuals, giving just a little just to be a nice part of the community. Sportsman Warehouse has been fantastic to us... with product, discounts on items we buy, and even giving us a place to meet, as no charge. All of these compaines should be appluaded for their efforts, without them a lot of what we do, we couldn't. Im so tired and stressed right now, I feel like Im leaving someone out, and if I am, Im totally embarassed about it.
Over the last few years, we've cut back maximum # of dogs, so we could have the quailty events we wanted. We've increased what we've spent on judges, so we could have the quailty of events we wanted. And we have spent way, way more on the socials than any other club Ive ever been too, so we could have the events we wanted. And we did all of that, with only raising dog entry fees 5 bucks, and sponsor help. The rest we did with cost saving steps I wont go into details about, but I assure you Trey Edwards ought to be rich, the ways he can figger out to save some bucks!
Everything we buy, is shopped & haggled, down to our insurance he just saved the club 250 bucks on. Johnny Barlow is the same way, you wont belive the stuff he has talked people out of, or down on, or into doing. Most of you don't know David Morgan, and thats a shame. Because he is by far the most behind the scenes reason of our sucess. Land, lodging, bird boys, access, and damage control, Morgan is a huge part of our sucess. His dog is now retired from hunt tests, he just sticks around to help. When any of ya'll see him this weekend, hug him. His contributions to this hunt test saved Southern Flight over 1500 bucks AND made it better.

When you have the chance to thank one of these people, or compaines, take it. Thats all anyone wants, is acknowledgement. We're blessed to have this kind of strenght to draw on. We're blessed to have people who will open their lands to us, their wallets to us, and allow us to put on the best hunt test in the country. I told my crew this past weekend, I was sure glad they where working for me, not agin me... cause you wouldnt belive what those boys have pulled off the last couple weekends. And every sucess just builds, because we had (tons of) new people step up and offer to help. With their back bones, their access, their lands, their phones. Thats more than anyone can ask.

I can not tell you how proud I am of my club, and my friends. travis
