It�s been a long time since the Tulsa Bird Dog Association (formerly Tulsa Bird Dog Club) was featured here in the American Field. The club held it�s first trial in October 1987 and Allen Vincent wrote the first report. That�s some pretty big shoes to fill, but here we are nearly 30 years later and the TBDA has come full circle. After nearly 20 years being absent from the American Field world, the club held it�s fall trial at the McFarlin-Ingersoll Ranch in Inola, Okla. under the auspices of the Oil Capital Field Trial Association and with the guidance of TBDA member and professional trainer Tom Woods of Adair, Oklahoma.

This year we had decided to run Amateur both days. It turned out to be a good decision drawing 50 between the two days. We had two rough days with very dry conditions and Temps in the 80s. We had a few new comers we welcomed in happily. They were all successful with placements for their 4 legged companions.

The Rolling Hills Field Trial Club held its fall NBHA trial on Saturday September 19th on the Dude Hoehns farm south of Knoxville, Iowa. It�s been a hot, very wet summer throughout much of the Midwest and southern Iowa is certainly no exception. The grounds received 3 inches of rain in the twenty four hours before the trial making the river bottom portion of the course soggy, but not unbearably so. The morning running started with temperatures in the upper 50�s, peaking in the mid 70�s later in the day. Mild westerly breezes made for a beautiful late summer day to run dogs.

The National Bird Hunters Association held our awards banquet in Memphis, TN on July 25, 2015 at the historic Ames Plantation. We originally planned to host the event at the Hall of Fame but due to set-backs in their roof replacement, we scrambled to secure a different location. Tonya Brotherton, from the Bird Dog Hall of Fame, assisted with the preparation for us. We hosted approximately 80 individuals in Bryan Hall and had a great evening!
