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.

* 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:

> 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.

Well it was the 1st weekend of the new year-Who else got some type of hunt in?
On Sat I saw the SunRise and Set in the rear view Mirrors. Chased Roosters out in western ks again but only with the Ol' dog now as junor is off to school. The higher temps this weekend (60') made things much different....We chased them around in the 1st field for 2.5hrs and never got one pinned down or flushed. The feathered sob's even cackled at me. Now this particular field does not have much grass-but rather just about everything other then grass and it is very abrasive on the dogs face and feet-Cletis's nose was bleeding in several places and the eye getting raw again. So we moved to another place with mostly nice grass to save wear on the Ol' boy. Well one bad thing about the nicer weather is that lots of folks let their dogs outside loose all day. So we were pursued for a little while by a boxer and a beagle team-but they split after I shot missing a crossing shot on a Rooster Cletis pointed. It was neat as I saw that thing run across my path away from the dog about 15 yards out.... Man they are flying fast right from the start when they get that running start! We worked that place hard and I missed a second bird and now started feeling really bad for the old dog not getting to taste any feathers after working so hard. We kept on and I noticed a hen fly out of the field near the van so as we got to the truck made sure to walk the edge along the road and sure enough got a rooster up and an easy pick up for the ol' dog across the road and into a pretty bare stubble field. Then we hit one more place that had some of the nicest grass varieties I have ever seen and after getting up a bunch of hens as singles started trailing one-this chase dipped down in and along the edge and back up out of a valley when finally he locked up. As I started to move towards the point I could see a ripple going thru the grass so I ran with it for about 10 yards and when it stopped I did too and then that rooster busted up cackling. Easy shot there. We played for a little while more and scoped out some other places as the day was nearing an end. We should have had our limit but settled for the two. To be truthful I am happy to get just one late season. Had to help the Ol' dog up out of the kennel when we got home-But once up was ok and ready to help out with the cleaning chores...  |
