Entries were small this year but all of us had one thing in common. We wanted to spend time in the field with our dogs and have a good time. The Grasslands can be a wonderful venue but this year the National Forestry Service really messed this up. They double booked the property with a marathon run that had some 300 runners. We saw runners all day long it seemed like. This created an issue when we were five minutes in to each brace there seemed to be joggers hauling our dogs off. Some dogs fell victim to this but we seemed to make the best of it. The scouts had their hands full. It�s a walking trial and the dogs know to go with folks on foot.

The original plans were for this event to start on Wednesday March 5th and conclude on Saturday the 8th with our National Open Championship starting on the following Tuesday. It seems that the global warming seemed to have not cooperated with us having wind, rain, and sleet, ice, and snow as far south as Houston, TX. We were unable to depart on Monday as planned from freezing rain in Houston, TX. Departure moved to Tuesday after lunch after the weather warmed up and the ice on the road had melted. Arriving late to Arkansas with the roads in Arkansas starting to freeze back up were not in too bad of shape. It seems that everyone arriving had delays with the weather and road construction on I40 thankfully all arrived safely.

The 2014 National Bird Hunters Association National Open Championship was held March 11 through March 14 in Patrick, South Carolina at the esteemed H. Cooper Black field trial grounds. After a day of qualifying, marked by extreme weather and inspired dog work on championship worthy grounds, there were six dogs and a deserving stand by qualified to run in the championship. When the wind finally lay down and the Carolina sand had settled, Cock N Fire Maggie, handled by Jerry Raynor, had deservingly won the championship and an exciting and memorable field trial championship was concluded.

The NBHA Midwest Regional CH was concluded on April 12th, 2014 at the Greenwood Pointe Shooting Preserve near New Franklin, MO. The trial was hosted by the Missouri Bird Hunters Association. This Championship was originally scheduled for Feb. 7 and after two postponements due to heavy snow, ice and single digit temperatures, April 11 was agreed upon. The weather was certainly better for the handlers but probably not for the dogs as it reached the 70's both days along with sun and wind.

The Arab, Alabama Field Trial Club held its spring trial at Ken Tolbert’s Murphy Farm training and trialing grounds near Oneonta, Alabama on March 22, 2014. The hundred plus acres of picked and standing corn, stripped sedge, and cut-over woods lines provide an excellent venue for dogs, owners, handlers, and horses. Already having adequate parking and a pleasant clubhouse, the facilities were upgraded this year by the Alabama Region of the NBHA to include a new covered awning with picnic tables. The grounds are a popular spot for both weekend and championship trials, and several Alabama Region clubs are indebted to Ken for his generous provision of these facilities. It seems that Ken and his entire family go the extra mile to welcome trailers and ensure the success of each trial.
