The Perry County Coon Club will host an autumn “Nite Hunt” on the evenings of Nov. 14 and 15 at the club’s grounds, 10624 Sunflower Rd., in Tell City. The multi‑night event, open to local handlers and their hounds, is part of the club’s regular schedule of field activities and historically attracts participants from across the region.
Organized evening field events such as this combine competitive elements and social traditions of rural sporting clubs. For Perry County, the hunt represents both a community gathering and a modest regional draw: participants arriving from outside the immediate area can increase evening traffic near the club grounds and bring additional patronage to local businesses. The club’s announcement signals continued activity in a civic space that functions as a volunteer‑run institution and social hub for members and neighbors.
Local officials and residents typically monitor events of this type for public‑safety and land‑use considerations. Evening activities can raise routine concerns about lighting, parking, road access and noise, while also creating demand for temporary enforcement or traffic control depending on turnout. The event’s status as part of the club’s regular calendar implies an established pattern that county agencies can anticipate and integrate into public safety planning and permitting processes.
Beyond logistics, the hunt highlights broader community issues around stewardship of open space, animal handling standards and the role of private clubs in rural civic life. These are matters policymakers and residents occasionally revisit in public forums and during county meetings, particularly when events draw regional participation. For local civic engagement, the club’s event offers a tangible opportunity for residents to observe recreational land use and, if they wish, to raise questions or offer input to county officials about event oversight, traffic management and neighborhood impacts.
For Tell City and Perry County businesses, even brief spikes in visitor numbers can produce incremental economic benefits, particularly for food and hospitality venues. For community members, the hunt is a reminder of the continuing importance of volunteer organizations in maintaining local traditions and providing recreational outlets.
The Perry County Coon Club’s Nov. 14–15 “Nite Hunt” continues a seasonal slate of field events at the Tell City grounds. Residents seeking further information or who have concerns about the event should consult the club’s published notices or county communications for updates and any public‑safety advisories.
