I'd like to take a moment to recognize the top ten RQEs for 2013. These clubs should be very proud of the hunts they've put on. I know we at UKC are thankful to have a working relationship with these clubs.

Top Ten:

1. Lisbon Area CHC, Lisbon, Ohio 64
2. Barlow CHA, Barlow, Ohio 64
3. Henry County CHA, Clinton, Missouri 62
4. Morrow County CHA, Cardington, Ohio 60
5. Northeast MO CHA, Kirksville, Missouri 58
6. Tennessee Valley CHA, Scottsboro, Alabama 55
7. Deer Creek CHA, Greencastle, Indiana 54
8. Hawkins Co CC, Rogersville, Tennessee 53
9. Ace Coon Club, Martinsville, Indiana 51
10. North Central KY CHC, Elizabethtown, Kentucky 51

Of special note is the Northeast MO CHA in Kirksville, Missouri who held their first-ever RQE during the 2013 season and placed at number five.

Also, two breed-specific RQEs hosted by chartered breed associations would have been in the top ten, but we felt it wasn't really fair to other clubs to list them. The American B&T Association and the Grand Bluetick Reunion both drew very well and should be commended for their members' commitment to their association and the UKC.

Again, good job to all of these clubs!

They hadn't held an RQE since 1990. Don't know why they lost it. That was way before my time!

GLAD TO HEAR THEY GOT IT BACK. GREAT HUNTIN DOWN THERE. I THINK THE YEAR WAS 87. I HUNTED LUKE AND WON IT AND RUSS HUNTED TOAD AND PLACED SECOND.
I DREW 2 DUAL GRANDS FOX RIVER CINDY AND BAUMBAUCH'S PULPWOOD. THAT WAS BACK IN THE DAY AND WE HAD ENOUGH FOR GAS, ENTRY'S . WE STOPPED AT A DAIRY QUEEN AND HAD ENOUGH FOR A HOT FUDGE SUNDAE AND RUSS HAD A LARGE CONE. THE HOT FUDGE WAS BAD AND I GOT EXTREMELY SICK. LUKE SPLIT FROM THE 2 WALKERS ON THE FIRST DROP. I TOLD THE JUDGE IF I DIDN'T FIND HIS COON, I WAS DONE(was that ill). LONG STORY SHORT HE HAD A COON AND IT WENT FROM THERE. SO MANY FOND MEMORIES OF THESE HOUNDS, THE NITE HUNTS AND JUST COON HUNTING. <v>

Yeah, your such a young thing. lol Years ago Kirksville was where it was happening. Back in the 70's they would have a B&T sectional with 75-100 dogs a night. They have done like a lot of clubs in recent years and had a hard time keeping the doors open. They have about 5 or 6 guys trying to keep it going. This is the first RQE that they have had in years. The weather was nice(though I fell through the ice up to my crotch in the first hour). It was also, a Redbone sectional.

Cudo's also to my friends at the Barlow club. That club has been getting it done since I was a kid and probably longer than that. We are talking probably 50 years or more of a great coonhunting club. When I was a young man they would put 100 dogs in the woods on Friday and then over a hundred on Saturday's RQE. The numbers are down a little from yesteryear but those guys and gals are a GREAT bunch of coonhunters.

I remember as a young man seeing it harder to win the Friday night UKC hunt, which was then labeled as the Southeast Ohio Championship, than it was to win a breed days. I say that because Barlow would draw as many or more dogs on their Friday night hunt than you would see at most Breed days events of that era.

So Congrats Barlow, on another WELL DONE JOB!!!!

Thanks for posting this Paul, and congrats to all the above clubs!


Paul are you going to post the top 20 coon clubs in the country with the highest average turn outs for the year at the end of this year? I know UKC used to do that but I haven't seen it in the past couple years.
