Female in heat in HTX hunt

Can a female that is in heat be run in an HTX hunt? I obviously wouldnt want to take her if i thought she would accept but she just started bleeding on Saturday and the HTX hunt is on Thursday. Does anyone think this is cutting it too close?

Yes.

I am assuming that you are replying to it being too close so does HTX rules allow for a female who may be in her cycle?

Clay, females in season, regardless of what stage, may be hunted in HTX events. The reason they can be scratched in a nite hunt is because they might interfere with other dogs in the cast. In HTX events they are the only one out there so no issues with females in season.

Thanks Allen

I sure wouldn't take the risk.Plenty of stray dogs and yotes out there looking for love.My female was fully ovulating 5 days after she started bleeding.Just my 2 cents.Goodluck either way.
