Today on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast, after some audio issues a few weeks ago, Allen finally got to sit back down with NHBA president, Allen Newby to discuss the future of NHBA Days. After he got back from laying on the beach that is.

The guys waste no time diving right into the changes coming to this storied event now that the McVay Memorial Hunt is coming to an end

Today, Allen and Trevor are looking back on the 2025 Youth Nationals, which was also it's 25th anniversary. And in perfect cyclical fashion, this years event took place less than 50 miles from the very first Youth Nationals.  

84 kids, representing 16 states, came to Shelbyville, IN to compete in the annual nite hunt or bench show. And some awesome prizes were up for grabs! Including tuition awards, goodies from our partner Eukanuba and sponsors Mud River and Bright Eyes Lights, trophies, and much much more!

Then stick around as the guys give much deserved flowers to all our Chartered Breed Day Champions! 

Today on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast, Allen kicks off an exciting new series! "UNDISPUTED" a countdown-style episode that digs into the grit, drive, and raw talent of the hardest-working hunting dogs out there. Each episode, our special guest ranks their top 3 dogs built for the field - not just by breed, but by what they've earned in the thick of it. These dogs have bloodlines, bark, and heart.

Today on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast, you're in for a rollercoaster ride! This week, Allen is chatting with Dave McVay and Allen Newby about the swan song for the beloved Don McVay Sr Memorial Hunt.

One of UKC’s “Big Five” and the Last Chance Qualifier for the 2025 World Hunt, is gearing up for its final event September 4 - 6, 2025, in Coshocton, Ohio. And they're going out with a bang! They are changing up the format to one that is unheard of in the Beagle world, and the total purse has the potential to be MASSIVE!

The McVay’s are going all-in cleaning out their bank account and giving all the event's proceeds back to the hunters.

For participants, it’s an opportunity to show their support and thank the McVay’s for their years of dedication to the sport and its Beaglers. For the McVay’s, it’s an opportunity to show gratitude to the hunters for their years of dedication and support of the McVay Memorial.

But then halfway through, this episode gets flipped on its side!
