Oh my goodness, a small coon club is a business now? What have we come to? Why does a club have to show a profit? OPERATE? What does a coon club opereate? There are still some big UKC clubs but the majority of them have 5-15 members and 10-20 dogs show up to their hunts. Do you really think that they are a big business? Tarbaby kept his club going with money out of his own pocket for years. I donate $20 to my club every time they have a hunt.

The Winnie Baygo could be a mobile coonclub. Have a hunt every weekend somewhere different. Even got a kitchen and bathroom. Unisex at that.

Coon clubs, are most of them if not all classified as a NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION?

With the proceeds of Allens snowmobile and the Winnie baygo we could possibly have a $100,000 world hunt !!

All right Tarbaby, that is another excellant idea. Three or four clubs could go together, buy one and move it to their area for each hunt. And they could rent it out when they weren't using it to offset costs. That Tarbaby has been on a roll lately.

Why buy one when you've got one. Said you aren't used to making a profit. Cover up the handicapped sign on the Winnie Baygo and put Mobile coonclub. just saying

The 2 clubs that I go to both have a clubhouse that was built by the members mostly from lumber and materials donated by the members. Since they aren't 10 yr old boys any more they used 2x4's and glass windows and have toilets and electricity, but the principals are the same. Oh yeah, one of them does have a dirt/gravel floor. p

Tarbaby, you are the problem. If you have 50 hunters in your area and you can't convince 30 of them that attending comp hunts and hunting in them can be fun and rewarding then you definitely have a problem. Quit trying to blame everything on UKC. Just look in the mirror and ask yourself why you do it. It sounds like you need to give a little speech on Jan 5th. You have 3 weeks to write it. Maybe since you think that UKC is responsible for everything, you can get Mr Gingerich to write one for you.

All right Mr River, how was that?

What is wrong with just breaking even at or just keeping enough to pay all the bills. Trophies,paperwork food, is all we buy for the club and the last two years we have had trophies returned and reused. The hunt test even bring in money and they are even more competative then you would think , for us old guys anyway

Tarbaby, they are young coonhunters. They have no idea what they want. You have to tell them. It is all about Peer Pressure. It sounds at times that they are telling you and you are listening. You keep talking about doing something. Well it is time to actually do something. You will have a captive audience of around 50 actual coonhunters. And UKC/Allen has actually offered to help you. Sounds like it is time to stop talking and start walking. Now if you could just get a pretty girl comp hunter like Jen to stand by your side.

What a defeatist attitude. You are beat before you start. I see now what the problem is. Now I see why you keep ranting about someone from UKC coming down to do something.

All right Mr River was that too much? Should I quit now? I have wore him out.

Nope not defeated but since I have joined the ranks of only getting paid once a month I can't take money out of my own pocket anymore. If they don't want it bad enough to raise the money to get it going then I don't know what to tell them I furnish them a building that anybody would be proud of that's my contribution. And I ain't setting at the club by myself no more lol.

Real good posts, I was an officer in my Club for years, we made enough money to buy truck loads of coons for restocking, back when we paid 30.00 per coon and haul bill. My club held Turkey shoots all fall, every Sat. Night, sure we didn't get to hunt that night, but we made money for the Club. We donated 500.00 to the Volunteer fire dept. And helped out in the community. The whole community supported us. Granted out of 30/40 members only 8/10 done most of the work, but we ALLL benefited. Clubs cannot expect to make money just on coonhunts, they ALL need fund raisers and be a helping hand to the local community. If you aren't getting support from the local community, then you aren't doing things right. Little Clubs popping up for the sole benefit of a few to make their dogs Champions are the problem these days, they only have a few members and don't care if they make a profit, just put wins on their dogs, one shuts down another opens. Long term success takes work and dedicated members. Jen Cummings posted ways their Club is so successful Clubs struggling need to converse with Jen, she will give you some excellent information. Many new businesses FAIL within the first year and the numbers grow higher within the next few years, however, the success goes up with time. A club needs to focus on staying in business over the long run, look for ways to increase your revenue and help the community. Dave

Now they will go to a big coon contest etc. Maybe something for Shriners or St Judes but that is it.

Mr.Chuck ..Didnt mean to strike a nerve just observations..If it takes just pleasure hunting to keep our sport growing to keep kids out of all the mess that is out there for them to do nowadays so be it..We have very few guys still trying to hunt here where i live but have a list of guys and gals that want to go after deer dog season..We may take 15-50 newbies after the season if just a few will catch the bug it will be worth it..And honestly it is a nasty bug but a great one
