In today’s episode, Allen and Trevor are joined by David McKee, chairman of the Grand American committee to discuss the upcoming Grand American Coon Hunt. This longstanding and legendary event—celebrating its 61st occurrence in 2025—is always there to kick off the UKC coonhound events calendar. The guys talk about why this event holds so much prestige and chat through what has changed and what has remained the same over the years. They reflect on the old days of postmarking entries via snail mail compared to using our new online event entry website. This year will feature two Nite Hunts, a bench show, and even a few opportunities for youth handlers to get involved. Are bench shows the best way to get youth started in the sport and will there be any Boykin spaniels at the show? Come down to Orangeburg, South Carolina, on January 3-4, 2025, to find out!
