I don't see no problem at all on having a hunt on Christmas nite ,,people go to dinner, movies and nightclubs on Christmas ,what would be the difference in going to a competition hunt.

Now I would say attendance would be low if they held it on Christmas Eve.

I guarantee you attendance will be very low! Each club will be lucky to have a full cast. Also, it is Jesus Christs birthday. Pretty low if you ask me.

Kind of makes sense if you ask me. Most people have a few days off work around Christmas. Also after spending the previous two or three days with all the family its nice to get out with a few buddies and tree a couple coon.

Do me a favor. Go to a hunt on Christmas night and report back to us all how many dogs showed up.

I SEE IT AS A GOOD CHANCE TO GET AWAY FROM THE WIFES GOODIE GOODIE S#%T DONT STINK FAMILY. BESIDES MOST PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DONE WITH DINNERS AND VISITS BY CHRISTMAS NIGHT AND READY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE BOWLING, MOVIES, NIGHT CLUBS AND COON CLUBS.

I've heard that the real birth day of Jesus would have been some time in late September or early October, no one really knows. Also, the keeping of the birth of Christ isn't Biblical so no sin would be committed attending a UKC coonhunt. If I didn't have family and friends to share the day with I can think of no finer folks to be with than my coon hunting buddies.

Christmas isnt even in the BIble!! I have a pastor who makes a lot of sense. He loves to tell the congregation to get the log out of their own eye and not worry about the splinter in the brothers eye. I try to do that. Basically its none of my buisness.

you will know the truebleue hunters in your areas names when you show up at your local club all the rest are just keyboard comp coon hunters . Yea id say your puradictions are like tits on a boar hog worthless . Againe its called hunting not siten at home on couch . Also these hunts are a nice way for die hard hunters to burn off some the turkey or ham LOL.

I apolgys for sounding mean but i live in a state that does mabe 3 nt hunts a yr . So feal fortunate to have as menny hunts as you have and take um as they come . I dont have kids or grandkids so i will even hunt at easter hunts. Another thing these hunts do is let the single guys and gals get out whith thear dog and other single like minded people .

If low attendance carried any real stigma with it, this sport would have folded long ago. Anymore Christmas day is a major shopping day.

The club that I belong to has had a hunt sanctioned by the "other" registery on Dec 25th for several years now. It is always well attended. Everyone shows up/off in their brand new "Christmas presents" with their brand new trackers or boots or dog boxes or dogs. There are usually a few out-of-towners who have been visiting family in town and want a "release". Most have been cooped up with family and in-laws for a couple of days and just want an excuse to be out in the woods. I guess that you have to be a coon hunter to understand.
