I understand you have to follow Indiana guidelines but all the rest of this just makes AO just another hunt when you lose the atmosphere! Why no other vendors? Why no one that is not in the company of someone entered many come to shop and see old friends. How is the no entering grounds without someone who is hunting going to work for those that were walkup entries as stated that would be taken? Why no dogs in an open air barn? Indiana's state wide order expires Aug I think 26th if it is not extended will all these mask policies change?
UKC could have simply followed state guidelines as they are at the time without changing the entire atmosphere of this event. These grounds are huge their isn't much reason to even be inside if things are not changed look for entries to be WAY WAY down. We don't just come there for a hunt, we can do that without traveling 9 hours.

Jen, it was as simple as this for us when the phase got extended in Indiana again, we either need to cancel or find a way to make the Health Department approve our plan of action. When the question came to me, I immediately reverted back to my passion with sports and how bad I wanted even a shortened, altered baseball season rather than lose it altogether, so that's how I answered. This version of Autumn Oaks is better to me than it not happening altogether.

With pre-entries we can get a decent feel of our numbers ahead of time. With folks coming to walk around its a crap shoot on how many people will be in each location and quite frankly impossible to police. Our conversations always shifted to the vendor barn last year when it came a down pour and half the crowd was shoved in there. One little hiccup like that could get the whole weekend shut down mid-event which would be an absolute disaster with people on hand who have already paid travel and lodging costs. At least in this situation people have the opportunity to stay home ahead of time and save their money.


I guess my final thought is even if the state is moved into the next phase and we are able to lax restrictions the week before the event, it's way easier for everyone for that to happen then to plan for those lax restrictions and have to scramble and cancel last minute. After meetings with the mayor of Richmond and the city council, it was fairly clear that they didn't expect a move to the next phase to be completed by this date, especially with a holiday on the horizon.

I know there will be folks unwilling to travel as far and that is ok. I will be looking forward to seeing them in 2021. But for the folks who have made prior arrangements and were looking to compete with their hound, we wanted to make this happen for them. A lot of time and thought went into this and we knew it was a lose-lose situation for the get-go.

So is UKC going to refund my vendor fee that was paid in advance back in June? Since I’m not a sponsor?

Redneck Mafia. I understand exactly what you're saying and appreciate your concern for vendors. As a vendor, I understand the situation UKC is facing and they are trying to do the best they can. Yes, hopefully 2021 will be a better year. Working hard to have the 2020 hunt is the main thing and sounds like they have achieved that. The atmosphere of the past will not be there. But you can only work within the state rules. Thanks UKC for what you do. Thanks to those going and hunting, supporting UKC.

Jen, what is sad is, UKC contacted those vendors that will be allowed to be there before hand. I was told all this info before it was posted to the public by a vendor that will be there. So I found out that I won’t be allowed through another vendor, not UKC. Pathetic on UKC behalf!

I know of another coon hunt the same weekend, that will not turn anyone away. That’s why they are “the place to be”

Would you rather them just cancel it all together then? Seems like they are doing what they have to do in accordance with the state regulations to still be able to put on this hunt. While it certainly is unfortunate, I’ll take a restricted version of Oaks over a canceled one.

No, I would rather them have followed state mandates and left it at that. Utilize more of the outside grounds for vendors if inside buildings need to be eliminated or closed. There are acres and acres of it. Stagger sign up conformations by alphabetical order throughout the day from possibly their own tent with double tables that would have put the distancing without the forced use of mask by those signing up. Allowed for visitors to the park, many travel just to shop and visit old friends.
What are the things that set AO apart from nearly every other hunt?
I understand that UKC like everyone else has to be in compliance of state mandates that is when you find a way to get creative in order to follow yet retain as much of your atmosphere as you can.

Yes some of it is the atmosphere for me.. but most of it is just autumn oaks hunt.. I have placed several times.. an love it even when I loose.. yes there will be some people I will not see.. it is a terrible thing this covid.. but I looked at the acdc guide lines and ukc did what they had to do to b able to allow to have hunt.. it wasnt a matter of 5 acres or 500 acres .. it is a venue.. that's what cdc goes by.. anything over 250 people .. it truly does suck.. my daughter was gonna come be a vendor this yr.. but she cant now.. an she fully understands y.. yes there are alot of hunts in Indiana.. I'm driving 7 hrs to come hunt.. every weekend you would hunt with locals.. this hunt there will be people from all over hunting.. I can hunt with locals here every weekend
