Ashley Hopkins
Lascassas, TN
Background
Ashley started hunting as a nipper with his old man and grandad. At 15, he started competing in the United Kennel Club (UKC) and Professional Kennel Club (PKC) hunting comps. Ashley's racked up a fair few titles in his hunting career. Among them are four Final Four titles in the Super Stakes Championship since 2001: a first place, two seconds, and a third. In 2002, he snagged the title of Pup ShootOut Champ as well as Senior Handler ShootOut Champ with Tequila Sunrise, scoring him two brand new Dodge 4x4 utes. Ashley's the 13th top-earning handler with PKC, pocketing over $126,000 in total winnings from PKC events. Platinum Champ, Grand Nite Champ Tequila Sunrise and Gold Champ, Grand Nite Champ Harry Bawls are up for stud with the Hopkins mob.
Ashley is an avid hunter and trainer, but when he isn't in the bush competing or training, he enjoys spending time with his family. Ashley and his missus live outside Murfreesboro, Tennessee in the Lascassas area. Their two daughters, 9-year-old Allie and 5-year-old Anslie, really enjoy spending time in the bush with their dad.
