Proposal 3 - Coming in to Tree After Judge Arrives
. Coming in to Tree After Judge Arrives.
• Option A: Minus the strike position held.
• Option B: Minus the strike points if coon is seen. Delete the strike points otherwise.
2019 UKC RULE PROPOSAL CLARIFICATIONS AND NOTES
Be advised, the following notes are the opinions/statements of those who submitted the proposals and may or may not necessarily reflect the opinion of UKC.
PROPOSAL 3(B): Rule change would eliminate circling strike points of dog(s) that have come into trees after the judge has arrived, these strike points would now be deleted. It would also add the exception of Rule 6 (g), to scratch dog(s) in Champion cast that run, tree or molest off game. Rule change would also remove the 5(b) exception from 4(a).
*This rule could be utilized with or without the off game exception 6(g). The important thing is to no longer allow for circle points. *The idea with this change is to eliminate the use of circle points for dogs that have either quit their tracks or have arrived late and change them to delete. Current use of these circle points are being utilized in tie breaking situations. A tie should not be broken by circle points given to a dog that has either quit it's track, came in late or even worse a dog in a Champion cast that ran, treed or molested off game. I believe the dog in order to be scratched must actually tree on or grab a hold of off game, dogs should not be scratched for simply coming into handler. I personally do not have a problem with these dogs taking minus points but have a hard time believing that a few of the breeds would go for that, if so by all means! If not the important thing is to eliminate the circle points and delete seemed like a simple to follow compromise.
Though I've sure enough had this rule save my dog getting minus strike points at times, in all honesty any declared struck dog that comes into a tree after the judge arrives didn't finish (quit) it's track and should be minused in my opinion. I don't see where seeing anything in the tree affects the fact he quit his track and deserves minus for that.

Mike,
I agree with you but I can't see minusing a dog coming into a circle slick when the slick treer gets nothing.
The coondog will be doing what he's suppose to do so this rule really shouldn't matter.
What if the tree is voted on 2-2 ... Points deleted. And a dog checks it cause it's having trouble with track it is running. Smart enough to try to drift out to find it, but gets minused for checking tree of another dog.
Again, alot of these rule changes favor hot nosed dead loners.

Sleepy head, a dog trailing into the tree and checking it out has come into the tree and must be handled, you don't wait to see if he will continue on.

I witnessed this exact thing happen last weekend, the dog went another 50 yards and had the coon

Trailing up to a tree and trailing on doesn't constitute coming in to a tree, if it does someone has decided common sense has been used to much.

Must, Shall, Will are things you just can't get around in rules.
Just my 2 cents. But I have been on casts where dog came right by tree on track while we were there. Kept moving track around the other side of tree and right on out ended up a lil ways away treed. Had the coon as well. We did not catch him in this case because he was obviously running track. I have also had dogs not tracking come into tree and hang around they get handled. Also had dog come in running track stop at tree and locate. They got handled as well. All 3 where same thing happened but got scored different. The dog that was obviously trailing through got plussed on his coon after we shined it. The dog that came in got minused for quiting his track and coming back to cast then handled. The dog that ran in and located tree was handled and scored as coming in to the tree after judge had arrived. Because he came in and treed. In my honest opinion you have to score the dogs for each dog does in a situation. Judging is not for the weary hearted because you have to make tough calls sometimes and it can make handlers mad while being wise enough to know what the dogs are doing in each situation.

If he comes into his handler and not the tree he is minused for coming in off his track. He has to come in and show treed to fall under that rule. Just coming in is not the same as coming into the tree. It is a fine line but it is a definate line. That dog came in and walked right to his handler not to the tree never checked tree barked or anything. The difference is what the dog does when he gets there. They can question my call but we will take it back to master of hounds. There are times I have been over ruled but never on this rule.

It is also up to us as hunter to know that our dog did wrong and take the minus our dog deserves. I know guys that throw fits just to see if they can get out of minus. Take what is derved and let best dog that night win not the best handler. Judges as a whole need to be more accountable for rules and stick up for the rules not letting people bend them. I've been on a lot of casts that are very loosely judged. I will take my minus plus or whatever according to the black and white rules.

in to tree means. In most cases, come in to tree is very obvious. It absolutely does not mean that a dog must come in and tree before he must be caught. Once in a while, it does require the use of some judgement. The Judge needs to decide, did the dog come in to the tree in question or didnt he? The criteria for making this decision is no different than that where a dog quits a trail that is being worked and comes in to the cast. If you are looking for a measurable distance on what is considered at the tree and what isnt, you wont get one from me. My advice is, use good judgement and be consistent.
Allen says to use good judgment. Common sense can be used please do

That's the problem. There is a rules order that everyone must go by in order to be consistent and why there is such a problem with people not understanding the rules. If a rule tells you exactly what to do in a situation then it doesn't matter what the other rules say. There is permissive wording like "may" and concrete wording like SHALL. The word May gives a choice, concrete wording does not.
You can not overlook commands. MUST, WILL, SHALL can't be over ridden by judgement. Did the dog come in to the tree after the judge arrived. It makes absolutely no difference why he MUST be leashed. We can't get around that.
If the cast is shining the tree then they are at the tree. It doesn't matter why or where the dog comes in at he MUST be leashed that is one of the reasons you can't minus the dog for coming in after. Who says he wasn't going to go on and straighten the track out and tree the coon that these dogs missed (if they were slick)? But if he comes in to the tree you don't have the option to check and see he MUST be leashed. If the handler is at the tree when the dog comes in and the dog goes STRAIGHT to the handler and never even looks at the tree, because the handler is at the tree he MUST be leashed and because he is at the tree then you can't minus the dog for quitting the track no matter what.
The only judgement here is was the handler at the tree or not. If he is 50 yards out in a field shining that is one thing but if he is in the proximity of the tree the dog is saved by the rule no doubt about it.
That's why when I am judging if it's a circle tree I move the cast away from the tree while we are listening for dogs loose to open cause if we are still standing at the tree when he comes in even after the tree is scored then by rule he gets his strike circled. Leave the tree to listen and this isn't possible.

Read!!!! What Allen has given for the criteria to determine if has came in to tree. Same as quitting a track. By your way thinking if a cast has a dog trail past and dog goes up on a tree, he's minused. It doesn'tt work that way. Common sense, good judgment makes the right call.

And that is exactly what I said. The only judgement is did he come into the tree. That's the only judgement you can use and why he said "once in a while" it requires judgement. Most of the time it does not. One time would be in the situation I described above, handler 50 yards in the field shining a tree and the dog comes to him. The handler is shining the tree but at 50 yards away is he still "at" the tree. In my judgement no he isn't. That's the judgement part, not what to do with them when they come in. He even says he doesn't have to show treed.
Did he come in to the tree or not. If he did then nothing else matters he is to be caught and scored according to what the other dogs score is. That is all I have been saying. No other rule applies and the only "judgement" is whether or not the dog came in to the tree.
You can never, EVER apply the quitting the track rule to a dog that comes into a tree after the judge. It can't happen by rule.
