I know there is no rule that states that you have to shine the tree, but last night it caused a little trouble. 4 dog cast, 2 dogs treed on a rough looking tree, look the ten minutes, do not see a coon and call for a vote. One cast member(that's dog wasnt present on tree) never shined the tree at all. turned his light out. When it was called to a vote, without hesitation, he voted to minus the tree. Talk about sorry !!! Has anyone had this happen before to them. Is there anything a guy can do about it. Luckily this didnt effect the outcome.

I haven't had it happen and no, I don't think there is anything you can do about it.

It is true you cannot make them hunt for the coon however if you find a coon and they refuse to come over and look, that is refusing to score the tree and that IS scratchable. Page 49 of the Advisor.

Personally, I would rather someone just not shine than "pretend" to shine.

I always appreciate help and I look just as hard for others, but in the end its my job to find my coon.

I shine them all the same whether it hurts me or helps me.Not to say that I don't like to when its's gonna hurt me .It all goes back on sportsmanship and let's face it some just don't have it.I'm out to win when I pay my money just like everybody else but I always try to be a good sport win or loose and I'm not gonna try to keep someone from finding a coon their dog treed.I really like the ones who throw the big light up there when it comes time to shine!Glad it didn't change the outcome of the cast.

On a cast a couple months ago I was handling a dog for a friend.I had 75 and 125 on a tree.Two others backed her.As we get there mine comes comes off and I draw minus.They're up a huge white oak and we shine for right at 9 mins and I finally spot the coon.That wound up being the only coon seen on the cast and I lost.I was upset that my dog come off the tree but I did not hesitate to let'em know he was there.After telling my story to some they didn't hesitate to say you should have kept your mouth shut.But if I had then nobody would have won.

An old trick is to stand in the only spot you can see the coon and act like your shining the tree...

Only a fool assumes everyone is always going to be helpfull.....

whats worse is when you have a close split tree and the h.judge is shining his when he should be shining the others dogs tree, i was a spectator on this one and it was the guys friend and a young kid and an elderly gent . this guy is suppose to be a reputable hunter that did well at the world.... wonder if he reads this and remembers!?!?!?!?!??!?!?i believe if you dont look at the tree you cant vote!!!!!!!!!!
