Whats going on, everybody? A hectic month of May now transitions to a hectic month of June. The event schedules in these several months are relentless for us hound hunters. Whether you are putting on the events or going to compete, we are all making memories that we can look back on when we cant do this anymore. We'd all do well to remember that.
So what do we have this week?
PAST EVENTS
We did have several events this weekend on the Major Event and Youth Championship schedules. I appreciate Kevin Stocke, Brianna McCubbins, and Allen Roberts for getting results into me. Although at this time, you wont see the Missouri State Youth Championship results posted. I want to make sure I have all the handler information before I post it. To me, those events are more about the kids handling than the dogs or their owners. Id say we can all agree on that.
- Illinois State Championship
- Missouri State Youth Championship (still waiting to finalize and publish results)
- 2025 Ten Mile 300 Pro Slam (Congratulations to the team of Jonathon Moses, Josh Sparks, and Josh Jones for another big win with GRNITECH PR World War Z. In the three-year history of the Ten Mile 300 Pro Slam, Z has won two and made the Final Four in the other. He has climbed into the Top 35 of UKC's Coonhound Money Winners List now having accrued $8,000 across the UKC Pro Slams, Coonhound World Championship, and the UKC Tournament of Champions. You can see the current All Time Money Winners List here.)
UPCOMING EVENTS
There is a lot going on this weekend with one major Breed Day event on the Major Event Schedule and three Youth Championships on the Youth Championship Series Schedule. In addition to the majors, there are seven Regional Qualifying Events in seven different states including AR, IA, IL, OH, TN, WV, and WI. Its the dog days of summer now and you are running out of time to get those good hounds qualified for the World Championship.
- English Days in Flora, Illinois
- United English Breeders & Fanciers Youth Championship in Flora, Illinois
- NPHA Fred Cavey Memorial Youth Hunt and Show in Glouster, Ohio
- Treeing Walker Breeders & Fanciers Youth Championship in Parker, Pennsylvania
* I will be at English Days by midday on Thursday through the end of the event early on Sunday morning. Come by and turn in any paperwork you have or just come by and just shoot the breeze. We got some long days on tap.
* If anyone putting on the Plott and Treeing Walker Youth Events could send me some reports to post, Id sure appreciate it. Remember, having the youth handler names is key. I have been posting all major event results here on the Standings/Results Page.
WHATS HAPPENING?
As we have been talking about the last few weeks, the 24-25 Next Generation Spotlight Series presented by Bright Eyes Lights ended on May 31st. The 25-26 Series Year has now started, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. We have a few great races in the Spotlight Series that are just about at the end. You can see the current standings here: Next Generation Spotlight Series Standings
As of now, we have 13 youth reports standing between us and finalizing the standings. All are within the last month so shout out to all the clubs getting their reports in, in a timely manner. Just so the clubs and participants can know, these are the ones we are waiting for. Some of these just happened with the last week or two so I know they will be in soon and Ill keep you all updated here weekly.

In other news, by this time tomorrow, the 2025 Autumn Oaks Event Ad will be out on the website for all to see. Things are shaping up for it to be another amazing year. Be sure to check out the Autumn Oaks Web Page tomorrow and check it out.
UKC HUNTING OPS PODCAST
Like I teased last week, tomorrows episode of the podcast will feature Allen Gingerich, Danielle Champ, and I talking about her coming on board with UKC and some of the things we have been talking about and/or working on regarding UKC Bench Shows. A big part of the episode will be talking about this years Autumn Oaks Bench Show and what it is going to look like, specifically on Thursday. You will want to tune in for this one. We are purposefully dropping this episode and the Autumn Oaks ad on the same day. Thats all I will say for now.
We are close to finishing going through all seven breeds and the X-Breds in this bulletin with statistics from the Reproducers Series that dropped in three separate episodes so far this year. I would encourage you to go back and listen to episodes 143, 149, and 153 of the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast to hear that series in full. So far I have shared stats for every breed in some edition of the bulletin except for English and Plotts. Its only fitting I drop the English stats this week with English Days happening this weekend, and Plott stats next week for Plott Days next weekend. Sometimes I do think ahead, regardless of what my wife might say.
