Lol ok, not my fault I know the rules and how to use them, and others don't and they get "cheated" because they didn't know a rule. I'm bowing out of this. You guys have a good day. Maybe we'll draw out together one time

Rlenhart nicely spoken he apparently did not read the last paragraph of my rant lol!!! It can be the arrogence of some that make it unenjoyable for others. I agree I do not have a prob with the money hunts I have hunted in the other registries as well as ukc and applaud ukc for coming up with a way to accomodate all involved those that chose to hunt for money and those that do not. I just took offense to the statement of how the money hunts draw better dogs and hunters,which is not always the case. I guess they would have to consider me a boy some nights and a man the others lol I just enjoy coonhunting, meeting new friends sometimes meeting some I don't care to have as a friend, and seeing a good dog go no matter what the registry but get real tired of the opinions of some that their way is the only way.

If I remember correctly UKC staff asked us on the board a question. That question was
What will bring back all the grntch dogs to our local hunts and bigger hunts?This was their answer was the slam series.

Am I way off base by that?

I think they're a great Idea but the original post stated an interest in UKC getting away from the old slip hunts and going more money hunt. I think there is still a following for the old "slip" hunts just the way they are to but UKC is doing a great job of offering both venues IMO.

Okay, so my question regarding this is

Has the slam series brought any of the GRNTCH dogs back to UKC hunts?

I doubt it. And the reason I doubt it is the entry fee for the hunts is higher than most people want to pay to hunt. If they were really looking for the grands to come back they need to come up with a new title past grand. Make it a lot harder to get than the current setup. I'm not saying that I dislike the current setup. It should be harder to get the title than it is now. In $KC you have CH (500), Silver CH(4k), Gold CH (10K), Platinum CH (20K)[for those that don't know]. So for the most part, You can hunt endlessly with $kc and never get the top title. But the titles in UKC are easier to obtain. If they had a similar setup with a $ amount to the title it would be harder to obtain the title. I personally think UKC should try and come up with a system that keeps the dogs involved longer. Not too many dogs in $KC are at the PCH status. And far fewer that are under 5. I like both programs but I prefer $KC over UKC for the fact that I have a goal / something I'm trying to obtain that I mostly never will. The dog I own now has never been in a UKC hunt to date. But that will change this spring. She ain't perfect but she's consistent.

I like the idea of hunting them all together. Just have wins. Still take same amount of wins. Hunt them all under ch rules. A dog shouldnt be excused for messing with off game anyhow. That'd prolly keep a few grntchs coming back. If they worth much though. They will be at a money hunt

Put em all together and run em for a state race. That would get some there I think. IF some big dogbox or 8' tall trophy was involved at the end lol. I hear it all the time how most all ntch dogs and grntchs are crap and people dont see how they made it. SOOOOOO nobody should be worried about hunting reg dogs with em.

He wanted to know what everybody thought of a system where Grands kept on hunting against other Grands and NITECHs and you would just keep earning higher degrees X1, X2 ext. Everybody with grands seamed to think that was a terrible idea and the biggest gripe I remember hearing was "why should my grand have to keep hunting against NITECHs when he already proved he could beat them". Now isn't that exactly what you do in PKC? Don't you get CHs hunting against Silver CHs and Platinum CHs? Personally I don't think anything UKC does will make guys that are fans of PKC happy unless they become exactly like PKC and I don't say that with quarrelsome intent but it's just how I feel. Personally I had thought that he had a pretty good idea at the time. The system he was suggesting would have given guys (like myself) that really do enjoy hunting the local hunts something to hunt for after granding a dog out. Would it have appealed to everybody? "no it wouldn't have" but I think it would have appealed to just enough to get some grands back in the game at the local hunts IMO.

I love it the way it is. They have money hunts and your old way. The world hunt is what confuses me. $100 entry plus the $30 for rqe. Just don't understand that but I can live with it.

But here's my problem with slam hunts, why split it. I plan on hitting one or two we will see how it goes

Todd what about this idea say you have grands start hunting at the beginning of the year the more dogs they hunt against when they get their wins the more points they accumulate take the top 36 high point dogs at the end of the year have a big hunt for all the marbles keep the point system simple they go to a hunt hunt against 1 dog and win 1 point they hunt against 20 Grntchs 20 points call it the ???? Grand invitational have a big prize package put together off of the entry's play by plays I would be very interested I think a lot of other folks would be too !!
