Perry, GA - While publisher Terry Walker was tied up at his booth at the recent Grand American where Ameri can Cooner and Full Cry subscriptions were selling like hotcakes, the Mo dog was in Perry, Georgia positioning himself to win the second hunt on the 2004 PKC Blue Ribbon "Pro" tour. Mo is co-owned by Walker, Mark Cross of Iowa, and handler Ronnie Smith of Illinois.
Mo's win paid $4000 and moved the Walker hound into second place behind John Strickland's Bad Habit who won the December Pro hunt at Greenwood, South Carolina.
