2023-2024 State Race Standings

As announced last April, we brought back the State Races for Hounds that members had enjoyed in the past.

The owner of the dog of each State Winner will receive a certificate, a FREE ENTRY to the 2024 World Hunt and a jacket.

The current competition period has been running since June 1st of last year and concludes this May 31st.
So far, Lovins Lucky of West Virginia and Yadkin River Abby of Georgia are the only dogs with the required five wins. Bad Habit Max (Georgia) and Trader’s Crook (Iowa) have four wins. Following those four dogs, the next closest dogs in every state have only two wins each.

State Race hunt rules are:

  • Hounds must have at least five plus point cast wins between 6/1/23 and 5/31/24.
  • Only plus point cast wins count.
