With full bellies and empty pockets from a long night of playing �Ceiling Fan Roulette� at the hunt camp the night before, everyone retired to get ready for the second day. Scores from both days would be accumulated, and before noon on Sunday, there would be twenty international field awards given; Best Mouth, and Classiest Hound. The show portion had been held after supper on Saturday night, Bev Cross judged the show, and Best Female Show had been awarded to Viagra�s Cashmere Kate, owned by Matt Brazier of Ontario, and the Best Male Show went to D & A�s Budweiser, owned by Alvin Avins from South Carolina.
Sunday morning we were treated to all-you-can-eat breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, and hot coffee, cooked by Dayle �Hollywood� Wright and Lorne Burke.
After Sunday breakfast, everyone caravanned to David York�s pen, which presents a much different topography than Delmer�s pen of rocky mounds of thick juniper with twisted paths running through it. York�s pen has more open woods, but is still hilly, and stocked with plenty of energetic red fox.
Judging partners were once again paired up and the hounds released. We didn�t think the running could get any better than the day before, but it certainly equaled it, if not surpassed it. A few hounds didn�t return on Sunday, some pulled by owners and some not advancing with positive points, but the field was still large at forty hounds, and a very competitive bunch they were.
Many fox crossings were scored, and at 11:15 am, the truck horn sounded and the trial was done. Time to catch up hounds and sort out the winners.
