GUTHRIE CENTER, IA (10/20/07) – The Flying B Hunt Club in Guthrie Center, Iowa provided the stage for the best in the Tournament Hunting game to come together in match play form to decide the 2007 Bird Dog Challenge World Champion – Brandywine Creek’s Phil Hinchman and his Boykin Spaniel Bessie –took the top honor.
The BDC World Championships is the most coveted title available in the Tournament Hunting game. This event consists of the best competitors and their dogs from the BDC, UFTA, PHU and Upland Classic tournament hunting circuits. Many breeds of flushing and pointing dogs compete in this event to include Boykins, Labs, Springers and Goldens to name a few. The event not only decides the best competitors and dogs in the game today but also does it in front of millions of viewers on the Outdoor Channel. A film crew was available to video the Finals and Semi-Finals and the footage will be used to produce the 2009 season of Tournament Hunter TV. This coming January 08 will air the 2006 World Championship where Phil and his dog ran 5th overall.
In the 1st round of competition on Tuesday, Bessie hit a fence and rolled while chasing a bird that didn’t quite have enough shot in it causing her to loose her mark on the bird and injure the muscles in her right leg. After a visit to a local vet and x-rays to rule out anything serious, Bessie and Phil fought their way back to the top by finding their birds faster than anyone else in the Last Chance field sets. They then made their way to the Semi-Finals where they secured a position as one of the top 8 finalists with a 3 minute, 3 bird, run. In the Finals they secured the title with a 5:25 run. Along with the title Phil and Bessie won a cash prize, a Cortona shotgun and an automatic qualification to the World Championships held in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Other members of the Brandywine team that competed in the event were: Marty Cruickshank with his dog, Reggie, from Canada, who had an awesome chance to beat out last years World Champion but had a missed shot on a bird. Matt Behe and his dog, Gauge, from NC also had a great chance to get to the top but ran into a stretch of bad luck. Bessie and Phil had to eliminate John Shaw and his dog, Bear (Bessie’s offspring), to get to her Semi-Final round. Overall the Brandywine dogs did a great job but it also takes clean shooting to win over your opponent. Phil and his other entry, Abby, also made it to the Semi-Finals but lost that round to their opponent.
This is the second consecutive year that TruckVault has sponsored Phil and his team of shooters from Brandywine Creek.
“We are very happy for Phil and his team and extremely proud to be associated with such a class operation as Brandywine Creek”, said Don Fenton, Sales & Marketing Director, at TruckVault. “Phil and his entire crew are great representatives for their sport and our product, we could not be happier for them.”
