The Wisconsin State Invitational
April 13-14, 2013

The Wisconsin Championship Hunting Series Wisconsin State Invitational is a season-end event meant to serve as a showdown for the main divisions, and more importantly show appreciation to the players who have supported the Series.

The Wisconsin State Invitational is a two-day event. Trophies will be given to the top two places in all divisions: Double, Mixed Double, Open, Puppy, and Single. Playback will be included in the entry fee for the Double and Single divisions. Bird Dog Circuit sanctioning will be optional.

All Wisconsin State Invitational competitors will be invited to partake in a meal on Saturday evening. At this time we will also be conducting a meeting with WCHS members to gain your comments, both encouraging and constructive, regarding the conduction of next year's Series.
