Here is what I expect will happen in regards to the move :

1. Some people have never been & never will go.
2. Some that attended every year will now not ever attend again.
3. Some that attended every year will continue to go.
4. Some that attended every year will go but not every year.
5. Some that attended sporadically, will now go every year.
6. Some that have never attended will now go.

There will always be alot of factors as with any hunt such as, dog power, fuel, weather, mileage, etc... numbers may be up or down due to these things.

Based on the above, I see it as a "wash". The WC will gain new participants/visitors and lose some. It will be a wait & see thing.

I personally will be #4. The event went from 80 miles to 320 for me to travel. I cannot attend the Grand American due to a date conflict with my beagle club in which I'm the secretary. Autumn Oaks is 12 hrs away - I went for the first time last year but dont see myself going back. The WC was the only big UKC event that I attended/participated in every year. Its difficult to see it go. I wish UKC & Batesville the best of luck with the WC.

The Convention Center-type venue is not “coonhound friendly.” Maybe Todd can address this concern.

Thanks Todd. From the look of the building it appeared as if it was the same situtation as that of the Georgia facility that would have required the hunters to park in a parking lot and walk through a gate to get to the activities, much like attending a major league sports event. We felt at the time that that was not conducive to the traditional "feel" of a coonhound event. If the setup in Batesville is like that of the Wayne County fairgrounds then that of course should work just fine.

Never seen any chain link in the Civic center parking lot it borders the flint river on one side and a church and buildings on the other with a youth Golf course behind it.....

SEEMS LIKE THE PEOPLE OF ALBANY ARE UPSET BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL GET ANOTHER HUNT FROM THE OTHER REGISTRYS THAT WILL DRAW 5000 PEOPLE SO THE COONHUNTERS IN THAT AREA MAY BE MISLEADING THEM IF THEY THINK THAT STARTING ANOTHER ONE WILL CURE THE PROBLEM......

Which motels are the closest to and most convenient to the grounds.
Maybe an over lay map of the area showing motels,camp grounds, restaurants, etc..

Brother Dale all is well in the south, see new things meet new people, eat a different places, stay at better motels, and have a new place to trot around and show them dogs. WHO said the show people don't have clout with UKC, them old hunting dogs still got to go in them old cold dark woods. Huh Them show people winn all the way around what U think .
