Bank account just keeps growing by the day ,I understand they are in business to make money, but there has to be a given point somewhere and the local clubs are struggling all across United States, then you take another $4.00 per dog at each coon hunt to supposedly cover the TOC pot.Come on are you people really not catching on. They started the TOC to bring more entries to the local clubs to help local clubs get numbers up and it did in certain parts of the country but then make it where you have to pay UKC $7.00 per dog entered in the night hunt. Most clubs were struggling before the TOC was even mentioned. How many more clubs have folded this last year? My opinion if we are going to do $7.00 a dog per hunt , let's make licensing fees for clubs a flat rate each year of $100.00 for all events scheduled for the entire year and that covers bench show and night hunts. If you have a UKC Doubleheader and a bench show ,you are giving UKC $52.00 before you figure in dog entrant money. Our last hunt , the weather wasn't the greatest but we had it anyways. We had 7 in the show and 7 in the hunt. $7.00×7=49 + $2.00×7=14 + $52.00 on that equals $115.00 going to UKC. If you have a kitchen, you might make $100.00 maybe but you have way more in it.
I’m just going to say this because I think it needs to be known. UKC created the TOC to get dogs back to the local clubs and I promise this year after this hunt you’ll see your clubs start making more money. But clubs can’t survive on hunt money alone you have to sell food, drinks, and raffles.
