It might be prudent to refrain from Internet evaluation and judging based on 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes 4th hand information from someone who is viewing the test from 90 degrees and 50 yards from the line. While my sources are not numerous not a single person has viewed out of sight as an issue on this blind.
Its a great blind just hope we get it in the morning!
Lainee I tend to trust you more than the blog.

We aren't there so none of us should critize the setup & I'm sure this kind of chatter could prevent some sources sharing insight, so complain away and we will all be stuck with just the blog!
Pick up is decision of the handler (or sometimes the judges). Either way, it is finite. Poor or very poor can (sometimes) "play" in a National. All judgements are relative to the field and this appears to be a difficult blind.Quote:

Sources say they stopped at 41 or 42. Sorry that's the best info I have right now...
Edit: confirmed 42 was last dog to run, 43 will start tomorrow
Dog 42 did run as the last dog tonight
