That's too bad! Anyone who lives within 3 hours or so should support this hunt and participate. It is the best one I have ever hunted and we need to support these type of things so that they will continue every year and they will grow into something that has vendors and major sponsors. It amazes me how far people will drive to go to Uncle Earls to watch pen dogs and shop for supposed "hog dogs" when this is right in the center of East Texas, which has the best hog dogs in the world in my opinion, so you would think that a lot of these hog doggers would participate and also see what kind of dogs are available in the area. If I was looking to buy a dog, I would certainly start there because you get to see what they are capable of somewhat. Me personally, I really enjoy the people and talking dogs, not to mention I get a good look at future potential breeding stock.  This tournament is geared towards the ability of the dogs and their owners and Cole goes the extra mile to insure that it is a first class operation and run fair and sqaure! Heck, I have never laid eyes on the place I am hunting and I don't care if I don't catch a thing because it is that good of a time!  I hope you can make it to weigh in to visit. Also, if you are into top of the line roping horses Cole has some beautiful blue roan Hancock horses that are anywhere from green to points toward their world championship.
