UKC Hunting Ops Podcast

This week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been looking back on some of our hosts’ favorite episodes as we slow down for the holidays and reflect on where the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast has been.
This week’s episode is Trevor’s favorite of all time - Episode 96: Common Coonhound Misconceptions. It’s an episode that captures Trevor’s passion and commitment for the sport, and his dedication to moving the coonhound program forward.
Last week, we said goodbye to Trevor as he begins an exciting new chapter with his young family and a new career. While we’ll miss hearing his voice on the podcast, his impact on the UKC Coonhound Program will be felt for years to come. From thoughtful conversations to meaningful improvements within the program, Trevor helped shape discussions that mattered and pushed the sport in a positive direction.
This episode is a fitting look back - not just as a favorite conversation, but at the legacy Trevor leaves behind. We hope you’ll tune in, listen back, and join us in celebrating everything he brought to UKC and the coonhound community.
Thank you, Trevor, and best of luck in what comes next.

This Week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...
The holidays are a time for slowing down, spending time with family, and reflecting on where we’ve been. Over the next few weeks, the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast is doing just that by revisiting some favorite episodes from our early days.
This week, Allen is sharing one of his personal picks and taking us all the way back to Episode 3 - a reminder of where it all began.
In this early episode, Allen and UKC Vice President Todd Kellam are joined by Todd Morgan, one of the original UKC Beagle Program Managers. It’s a conversation from the early days of the podcast, filled with perspective, experience, and the voices of those who helped shape the program in its formative years.
Listening back offers a chance to reflect on the roots of UKC’s hunting programs and the people who were there at the beginning. It’s a simple look back at an earlier chapter - and a reminder of how far we’ve come since then.
We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. From all of us at UKC, happy holidays and happy listening.
