ESSA HUNT TESTS
ESSA hosted two days of hunt tests this weekend near Langdon, AB and a great time was had by all. Thanks to the judges - Rob Skerrett, Ian Forrester and Boyd McIntyre. Thanks to the guns - Wayne Brennen (Gun Captain) and his gun team. Thanks to Steve Harper and Tim Bashforth for planting. Also, thanks to Boyd McIntyre acting as event secretary. Very special thanks to Steve Harper for chairing the event.
Hunt tests are a great way to spend a day with your dog in a non-competitive environment and is a way that ESSA can offer an activity for those who do not field trial.
