Problem being is walking the direction of hound with garmin that cast cannot hear opening or treed. Walking cast to the point to were cast can hear hound. Without the 8 minutes running. If hounds trail opposite directions and splitting diffrence to judge hounds cannot be done. Time should be called to retrieve hounds

Maybe the problem is having dogs that go so far that you have to walk 42 minutes to get to their tree. Is that what our sport has come to? Maybe we need a rule that says if a dog goes more than 1,000 yds it is scratched.
Competition coonhunts have turned into marathons. All we do any more is race 700-1,000 yds from dog to dog.

Leash locking rule shoud be changed asap, 8 should turn to 5, and breed assc. should vote on things concering their breed, while comp hunters vote on rules concerning the hunts. All problems solved..

If you refer to a family as a "clan" then you are definantly in trouble. And if you know who the Ledbetter's are then there is no help for you. I guess that I will have to go to the Wally World and get me some cans of spinach. I have just about wiped out all of the possums around here because I couldn't break my dog from treeing them. I got tired of whipping and shocking her so I just started shooting them. Now there aren't any left for her to tree.

Sorry, calling time out between trees or while walking back to last place heard will add more time. No leash lock will just add more walking. If you walk 700 yds to score dog A's tree, then turn dog A loose and walk 700 yds back to last place dog B was heard and walk another 700 yds to score Dog B's tree and then recut him.You now have to walk 1,400 yds back to last place Dog A was heard. And Dog B will now get treed 2 miles behind you. And that doesn't even account for dogs C and D. I am going to have to take a nap from just thinking about what would happen. It is no wonder that the handlers in that other KC are fighting. They don't have a leash lock rule.

While y'all are doing all that I will stay on the tailgate and hoot y'all out. Buuuuut no leash lock does help Richard get some buddy's together and try it one night it does make the action a little faster paced.

Sorry, the Garmin wiped out all that walking here and there to listen. If you're at a 2hr hunt ya might as well be hunting, not dragging a dog around for half the time.

Well Shane hunting styles of the dogs have changed you have the dead loners now that are quick to get struck you have 3 kc's with different rules when those dogs are chosen buy the guys that the big $$$$ to spend they are chosen to fit those rules to a tee. Now when Sombody buys a young dog or a pup out of one of those dogs It might not when trained fit the rules in the kc they hunt in yeah they say just tree coons and you win but they don't tell you about that dog being miserable for us old farts to keep up with while it does it I am bad about shining around looking while I walk I can't count the times I would be judging and see multiple coons setting up behind dogs and they were not running nothing but each other's butt holes when they left either but hunt in the one you like.

Dean, I see no good reason why the cast cannot walk in the direction of that hound, given your scenario? It's his (handler's) 8 minutes and you have no other dog struck in that is being judged?_

I'm going to assume the question really surrounds Telemetry Rule #3, which states:_
At no time may an handler demand the cast walk in the direction of a hound that has not been heard opening. The judge, or majority of cast when hunting judge is used, may agree to walk in that direction.

The purpose of Rule 3# is for dogs blowing out of pocket that have not been struck in or heard, unless the majority of the cast agrees to do so._

Your situation doesn't quite fit that rule because the dog was declared struck. However, the dog hadn't been heard since he was declared struck nearby. So the argument could definitely be made that the rule should apply and it be a majority of cast decision whether or not the cast walk in that direction. Regardless, the 8 minutes comes into play and consideration should be granted to walk in that direction. UKC has stated, in the past, that the handlers whose dogs are on the clock may choose to walk during that time period. So, I'd say that applies here even though it may be waste of walking time in your situation.
