Again we have a post, with informaion changing as it is written. For accurate, and correct help and answers to be given, all details of the event must be given. Apparently here, someone should have known not to turn out where they were. Sounds like it was close to the other guys land, however, it could have been miles from where they turned out first too. Who Knows? Does it matter? In the above case, no. The dogs, and the handlers are trespassing. When we read on here, and in our papers etc..., about dogs being shot, disappearing and otherwise, those guys should thank the owner for his understanding, and get out of dodge. No scoring situtation needed.Things are just to shabby in details to determine all the facts from the above. One thing that did concern me a little was the fact that two handlers scored A's tree, without the handler of C. Yes, they had a majorority, but B and C, should have been tied back, and C's handler returned to cast for A's scoring. The back up guy has nothing to do with the cast. he could have stayed with the dogs, or returned. It really doesn't matter. Sounds to me things started wrong, and just went worse from there. Could handler of C question the scoring of the tree? Absolutely. Not on if two saw a coon or not, but on hard fact the rule was broken in that he was denied an opportunity to help in scoring. What happens if A and B split on the scoring? How can C vote, which is rule required? he can't. The trespassing was just icing on the cake for a cast that was off on the wrong foot from get go.
NOTE: i just re-read---It was C's back up handler, but the principals are the same.
