BEAR TRIAL

JUNE 14TH is a MSDA/ MT ABRAM COONHUNTERS' BEAR TRIAL AT CLAY TRANTEN'S HOME ON THE WEST KINGFIELD ROAD IN KINGFIELD ME. 10AM WE WILL START REGISTERING AND THERE WILL BE GRUB FOR SALE AND SUPER RAFFLE TICKETS AND THE GARMIN RAFFLE TICKETS AS WELL! SO COME ON OUT AND BRING YOUR FAMILY, WHAT A GREAT DAY TO SPEND WITH DAD ON THE DAY BEFORE FATHER'S DAY!!!

These events are a lot of fun and a great way to support the clubs.....no papers needed!..... Great place to socialize young hounds and blow the dust off the older hounds while seeing alot of great folks all at the same time....hope to see everyone there.......

How are these trials done, is it a scent drag for so many dogs or individule dogs.over a certain distance? Just curious never been to one

Yes Wildman, it is a scent drag and it is a group of 4-6 hounds at times depending on how many dogs we have. the water race is the same. Trophies for first line and tree on field trial and first line and tree for water race and first place for dog who barks the most at the treeing contest. The distance varies but i know ours is quite long,Clay knows exact distance but it is more than a few hundred yards and less than a mile haha. and the water race is about200 feet I think. Come on out and join the fun!

Looks like the weather is gonna cooperate with us to make for a beautiful day!

how long you think it will last? I have to work and I out at 1.. love to grab a puppy and run up

Depends on the number of dogs entered in each event

RESULTS OF THE BEAR TRIAL ARE AS FOLLOWS; Troy Jackson's KC Line and Tree Field trial,
Water Race- Troy Jackson's KC First line and tree
Treeing contest- Larry York's LILY
