Fall Election for 3 Directors
There are three directors whose terms expire at the end of 2008. Those are Brice Romero, Stu Wange, and Joe Bubulka. It is unclear if any or all of them will run for re-election. We will have an election commencing in October. At this time the APLA is solicting for those members who wish to run for a 2 year term.

The requirements are to be a current member in good standing. You need to submit your nomination letter no later than September 20th. This letter needs to or should contain the following items.
*The office you are running for. Here it is director.
*Why you feel you would make a good director.
*Any goals or objectives for the APLA you would have if you were elected.
*Your length of membership with the APLA.
*Amount of and type of APLA officer or event experience as well as other dog organizations.

*Your letter must contain your name, address, phone number, and email address.
*And lastly your letter must contain 10 current members who support your nomination and whose permission you have attained. List their addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. (Double check this information for completeness and accuracy. Nine current members won't pass, it takes 10 members.)

Online Hunt Test Registration System - Friday, August 8, 2008
MEMBERS STILL NEED TO MAIL YOUR ENTRIES TO THE HUNT TEST SECRETARIES!

On line entry of dogs by members is not yet available. This phase is for the hunt test record keeping only. This past Spring season, APLA successfully rolled out version 1.2 of our custom built Hunt Test Registration System (HTRS)! All Spring HT results are available on http://www.americanpointinglab.com/site/Dogs/tabid/108/Default.aspx.

In case you have not heard about our new system, HTRS is an online, password protected, application which will allow real time access to membership data as well as certification data. The following features and benefits were included in this release of the software.

* Membership information as well as certification information can be cross checked and updated in a prompt manner.

* Hunt Test Secretaries can easily enter test scores which will lead to quicker certificate generation.

* Improve the turn around time from Hunt Test Events to the results being posted online.

* New accounting reporting features:
> Ability to enter one payment to cover multiple entries.
> Refunds for scratch entries (if applicable).
> Create income summary report.

* Allow BOD Secretary to add/update memberships on line (mail-in only).

* Add bird count report enabling HT secretaries to keep track of birds.

* Enhanced Reports
> Alternate row shading for easier viewing.
> Input translation to ALL CAPs when HTS enters data all lower case or proper case so reports and HT Booklet looks uniform.

* Enhanced scoring for quicker certificate generation.
> Add owner name and address to score report.

* Enhanced judge's sheets program allows HT secretaries to print judge's sheets at once.

Rosco, Jedi, and Myself went out sunday around Fleming, Colorado to use the walk in program! Walked a 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile field for almost 3 hours and pushed out and watched fly out of range about 50 birds! I was starting to get alittle frustrated when I watched about 10 birds get up and land in a corner section of a pivot! And I new they had no place to go!! So we finished up and went back to the truck and drove over to that corner!! As we were sloeing down ONE POPPED HIS HEAD UP!! They were still there! I grabed my gun and the dogs jumped out and I took 2 steps into the field and they exploded!! One rooster went to the left and one to the right, both went down quickly Rosco retrieved the first one and Jedi retrieved the second! as Jedi was retrieving the second 2 more got up (NO SHELLS IN GUN)!! Loaded my gun took 2 steps and another rooster got up and Bang we were done! Jedi picked up the 3rd bird ! That 1 minute walk sure made the 3 hours worth it! Next time about 5 to 7 people are coming along!! Here is a couple of pics of my boys!!

Outstanding Kevin! Great to see the grey beard still getting it done! To help with lost posts I try to 'copy' all the text prior to hitting submit-that way if the error occurs it is quick to paste the text back in and submit again-

Kevin, I re-read your post and couldn't find where you had the cross-roads listed. So if you could re-post that information that would be great. If you only have the GPS co-ordinates that would be fine. I am assuming you are doing the Walk-In-Program? We just got back from the 10 day stint in S. Dakota. The old-girl got caught in a fence and had to take some R&R but the pup is finally hitting here stride...just not pointing. We found some older birds hiding away in some of the private land. Those older birds always make me feel good about the dog work as they didn't get old by getting shot. I think I have one that could be making a trip to the taxidermist. I have heard the pheasants are thicker here this year. I guess I better take some time and start chasing them. The quail hunting has been good I just don't want to take too many of these guys as I love having the wild ones around. Ducks were slower than I would have expected recently but things are looking brighter. Now, gps co-ordinates would be great. Scott

Jerry-Did I say quail. I don't know what I was thinking...there aren't any quail in Colorado. They have all migrated to Mexico and will only be back when hunting season is over. Never seen quail migrate?...that's because they do it between 1 pm and 3 pm every night.....and they don't fly, they run. Seriously, the quail hunting is nowhere near the much more famed areas in the country for quail hunting. From what I understand Mr. Hoover (BFKHP) and the state of Georgia are much better places to chase the boogers. SE Colorado has some blue quail (cotton-tops) and NE has some coveys of bobwhites that can be nearly impossible to find unless you know where you are looking. When I hunt them I work hard to take very few and not over pressure the covey(s). I will say this, there was one covey that we jumped this week (on a public SWA) that held at least 40 birds. Sage pretty much 'zippered' here lower back leg. It is healing nicely and she should be back in the saddle in another week or so. In the meantime the pup is enjoying ALL of the work and finally figuring out why she was born. We have family near Brookings in Flandreau, SD. My brother-in-law farms and probably runs more pheasants thru his combine than I see in an entire year. The pheasant hunting is always a nice Thanksgiving treat for my family. I hope Jazzy is doing good?

Yes, Hope is a product of Sage x Jake. They were born July, 2006. I am not good at math but I think that makes her 16 months old.
