North American Tournament Hunting Association - NATHA

11/08/2020

NATHA tournaments are not taking place this year and the future is unknown.

With the change in ownership, the Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club was not interested in hosting NATHA tournaments anymore. Unfortunately, they also declined to take over and continue running NATHA when offered to them.

From what I understand, the MHHC will be hosting a few of their own tournaments, so while NATHA is not an option this year, you might still be able to get out and hunt this winter.

If you have any thoughts or ideas to continue the legacy of NATHA and preserve the 30+ year history, please email Bill Urseth at [email protected].

Hello NATHA family, we are just a few days away from the start of a new NATHA season. We wanted to let you know that we have updated the rules and will have new rules available online by Friday at the latest.

Some notable changes include a drastic revision to the Warrior class. We listened to what you had to say, and hopefully, you will be happy with the changes. To keep it simple, Warrior class is for people 55 years of age or older who want to stay competitive but because of one reason or another, don’t want to compete in Pro or Open. We removed any other restrictions other than age. The Warrior class will be eligible for per tournament payouts and an end of the year traveling Warrior award & $500 prize. The Year end award is based off of the PLAYER points and not the dog points, so as to really encourage the competitor to stay and play in the game as long as they physically can. Open Rules applied. Amateur Lifetime Ranking Points accumulated and given once the season is complete (similar to Senior Dog). Please let me know if you have any questions. Sheila
