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.

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.

May 28, 2025 Ep. 157 – Runnin' Hounds and Grillin' T-Bones
In this week's episode, Allen is coming to you straight from the field...literally. He and his good friend Atlee Lambright loaded up their dogs, a few nice T-bone steaks, and headed out into Atlee's field to not only let their dogs loose, but the conversation was just as loose and free as the dogs.

They talk about everything from Atlee's marathon accomplishments, the type of grass he planned in his field, their mutual love of hunting, Michigan's Upper Peninsula and everything in between...again, literally.

So, sit back, relax, maybe grill a few steaks to get in the mood, and listen to the sounds of two hunters completely in their element. If you listen real closely you can even hear dogs barking in the distance
