After being cancelled by COVID-19 last year, the annual AKC Youth Coon Hunt Challenge was back in full swing Saturday at the Old 74 Fox Preserve in Hallsboro.
Sponsored by the Columbus, Coastal and Twin State coon hunting clubs, this was the 13th annual event. The challenge is free to all participants. Children of any age group or skill level test their skills and their dogs in a treeing contest, bench show, squalling contest and judged night hunt.
