Chris and Elliott catch up after a busy Double Master at the kennel and dive deep into the HRC Grand with Grand Committee Chairman Tracy Stubbs. Tracy explains how sites are chosen, how judges are paired and trained, what “area of the fall” really means, how blinds are evaluated, and why composure matters as much as control. Chris shares handler insights on finishing blinds, reading marks at distance, and managing nerves across four series plus upland. You will hear how today’s Grand balances power with brains, how the point system works, and why the event is more user friendly while remaining the toughest hunt test around. New partner spotlight is Mammoth Guardian Dog Crates with the roll cage travel attachment and code GUARDIAN15 on Amazon. Shout to Big Cottonwood Retrievers for well bred pups.
