I am planning on being there. I may have a buddy or two coming, not sure yet.

This will be our last trial at Raphine. Although there are a great bunch of guys that attend this trial and we have always had a good hunt but I'm no longer able to pretty much run the club by myself. It has become a burden I can not handle and do it right. Thanks to all that did attend or that will be attending this weekend. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I gave it the best I had.

Jim,
Hate to hear that. Have attended Raphine, great guys, and great running. That is a shame. You know in any organization, you have those members that do and those that don't!

Hate to hear that Jim...but I know what you mean. 3 of us running the club and without the help of others we would be screwed. I am going to try to make it Sunday if I can get someone to mride along and help with gas $$$.

Best of luck, Mike Woods

Congratulations to Pete and Mike. That makes Harley a champion for Pete, she ran great in the final round. Thanks to Jim for having us up for a nice hunt with plenty of rabbits.

hey man sorry i couldn"t make it my dad told me to late. sorry to hear it's closing i liked that place

I've been contacted by a couple members that want to help keep this club going. We have a great bunch of hunters that attend our trials and I personally would hate to see it go down. I hope we can keep it going. Thanks to all that attended our hunt, because without you, we wouldn't be able to enjoy this sport in this neck of the woods. Thanks again................

Rooster, if you would behave yourself maybe you would have made it. LOL See you all next weekend as the hounddog invades Tazewell.

congratulations Mike and pete on your wins and everyone who placed

Congrats to Mike Crabtree on his win and everyone else that placed.

Congrats Pete and Crabby...how many is that for ole Reject?

Thanks Guys,
Tiny,that is Reject's 1st hunt in the Champ class.

It was a nice hunt , and congrads to Pete and everyone else that placed.

I had a great time on Sunday. Congtrats to Crabby and Reject. It may have been his first, but definitely not his last. I was throughly impressed with Reject after judging that Champion Class. Jim, I hope to see you guys at your hunts for several more years. If there is anything the Person County boys can do to help just let us know. I'm pretty sure Anthony feels the same way. Pete

Congrats Pete and Mike on there wins!! It was nice meeting you all down there and seeing some diffrent hounds run.Anthony we finally met after playing computer tag.I hate to see this club go you guys got a good thing going it seemed like a family atmosphere at that club and that goes a long way when trialing... Trust me i've seen a lot of craziness at some clubs.
