2004 PKC Futurity Championship #1

Sullivan, IN - We had a packed-out house last night for the opener of the 2004 PKC Futurity Championship. The overwhelming importance of registering coonhound pups with Professional Kennel Club was in evidence as more than 70 casts, some being sent to Greencastle and Washington in Indiana as well as to Marshall, Illinois in addition to those hunting out of Sullivan. Most casts, as you will see from the list of early round cast winners, scored plus points.

This writer's cast made six trees in typical pup derby style and have yet to see the first raccoon but that's the way it can be when hunting puppies. We hunted over in Illinois in the Robinson area in extremely dry conditions. The logic is that our pups couldn't trail in the tough conditions but they could find enough scent on the wood to get hooked. We'll be trying again tomorrow night.

Here are the successful early round cast winners with the late round winners to follow soon:
