The Georgia Hunting & Fishing Federation proudly hosted the National HGA hunt on June 29, 2024, at the United Fox Pen in Swainsboro, GA.

The event saw a robust participation with 202 entries. The preceding night, Kenny Williams led the bench show, where Hotline Loco from Hotline Kennels in Keystone Heights, Florida, clinched the Best in Show. The Best Opposite Sex was awarded to Turdhill Sissy from BBK Stay Ready Kennels of MS/GA.

The day’s standout was Rose Creek Dot from Rose Creek Kennels in Lake City, FL, who swept the awards with 1st place in Speed & Drive, Endurance, HGA, and the Combination winner.

Thanks to this event, we raised over $6,300 to support our ongoing efforts to preserve the tradition and camaraderie of running hounds. We extend our gratitude to all participants and supporters who continue to help us fight for our rights to enjoy these gatherings.
