None of this happens without the incredible people behind the scenes:
A huge thank you to Scott Young with Whispering Pines Farm for putting up prize money for the Open and covering bird planting — your support means everything.
Abby Young for keeping everyone fed and taken care of.
David Pike and Larry Nicol for judging and giving their time to ensure a fair trial.
Eric Stuard for bringing the fish and cooking up an absolute feast for everyone. And Melody Alley and Granny for those amazing hush puppies.
Savannah for helping keep concessions running smoothly.
Loren Troutt and Trent Pike for jumping in and helping Evan with catching birds and whatever else was needed.
And a major, major thank you to Chris Stafford with Double S Game Birds — the birds were top notch and made for outstanding runs all weekend.
Saturday night’s shootout and fish fry was something special — great shooting, great food, and even better company. Moments like that are what make these weekends unforgettable.
Most of all — thank you to every single person who came, competed, helped, or just hung out. This trial was more than we could have ever hoped for. The support, the sportsmanship, the laughs… it all came together in a way that makes us incredibly grateful.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better weekend!
Y’all better believe we’re already planning the next one. 😉🐾
