hunting guide sends buddy in 15 minutes ahead of cast to lay a drag to tree that has no leaves or holes that all dogs will get minused on then lays back for last strike and last tree to only be 50 in hole after first drop making it hard to beat him 50 points is easy to make up -225 is hard to recover from

Although I don't get to compete much anymore, in all the years I have gone to hunts i can only think of 2 cast where I felt I was grossly cheated. Only one of those was a buddy system vote, and one of those guys didn't have a clue what was going on. My losses usually came from poor performance from what I was leading.

I'm 47 hunted a lot of hunts in the eighties and I remember people trying to plus spider eyes, fighting dogs, babblers, unruly handlers, remember the 2 nails taped together with reflecter tape and fishing line to throw up in a tree, guys pitching dogs. None of this is new to the hunts. I think it falls into the same category as the dogs were better way back when. We tend to remember the good times from our past.

Its not whether the judge is a non-hunting or a hunting judge its whether he has the ability to know/understand what dogs are doing and then has the kahunas to make the right call.

I volunteered to guide at the Grand American. 10,000 acres and an ass of coons. So, if I was going to guide I was going to hunt. turns out another guide stepped forward and instaed of us going 65 miles to hunt , he had a good place on my county side of the orangeburg side of the Edisto River. This felller decided he had a young dog to sell and He decided on his own that I was the one that wanted him, LOL So the hunt proceeds and the dogs tree on the bank of the Edisto. It could have been waiste deep but it was a vertcle 15 ft drop to the water which it was because it was dry . He backed himself looking for the coon so hard till he backstepped off the bluff , but we were there and charged down the hill and saved him. We get back to the fairgrounds And he still wants to show me what his dog can do. I said man it is already 1;30 AM and it will take an hour and ahalf just to get to my place ; to which he informed me, that the guide where we just had hunted had left the gate open.

well fellows, there aint a GD F,n Way I would go in there if i had even had a dog left in there without calling the original guide. That was also in the 80s

I don't see where things have changed much though.
