3 dog cast. All dogs struck. Dog A declared treed deep.
Cast on the way to score tree. 5 minutes up, tree is closed.
Cast hears B&C still out trailing toward/near busy highway. Cast agrees to call timeout due to dog(s) in danger.

When to start the 1 hour delay of cast? Immediately after timeout is called or after tree is scored. The "Advisor - page 64" states that all handlers must score tree first then handle dogs B&C. Is this scenario an exception to the rules "Advisor"?? or Do B&C get a bad break and need to withdraw in order to handle?

A follow up question to this scenario....
Is hunt time used to score A's tree after timeout has been called. Meaning - do you call time back in and use hunt time to score tree, like you would on a split tree situation where they are more than 15 minutes apart.

Trees are always scored if the dog is treed while the clock is running. There is no exception to that in the rule book. They get called treed, they get scored.

On starting the 1 hour clock, I'm not positive about the rule but I know I'm not running the clock on a dog while that dogs handler is required to score a tree. I would start the time as soon as the tree is scored.

And I also run the hunt time while shining the tree. This is based on rule 8(i).

This question doesn't completely make sense when you think about it. Time supposedly was called because two of the dogs were headed for the hiway while the 3rd was treed. They call time to protect the dogs. So would they not have those dogs gathered before scoring the tree? Then why run the hour? on the other hand, if they are scoring the tree before gathering those two dogs, then the must have not been in that much danger to begin with in which case timeout should not have even been called.

I would say call time out and everyone go handle there dogs. Then meet back at the tree to score it.

Mines more important than a little yellow slip. Call time or don't. Mines trailing toward a big rd. Im going to get it.

If dogs are getting that close to a busy road, odds are slim your gonna get them caught before they get across the road or get treed anyway...

How often do you catch your dog off a track?

Someone told me once "never walk to a running dog".... IMO that is good advice.

No matter what the exact ruling is, Dog A may get a bum deal on this. Handlers of B and C have an obligation to save/protect their dog. Scratch or just start the hour, either way, these guys are leaving to get their dogs. Dog A needs a second person to score his tree. In a perfect world handlers come back after catching their dogs up and score. In reality, handlers of dog B and C may feel like they got set up, turned loose in a bad spot. We all know that there are handler/guides who will take a cast and cut them away from a feeder knowing that their dog will circle back to it.
So lets add another question- lets just say that handlers of dog B and C leave and never come back. Maybe even for a legit reason- lets say it took two hours to catch dogs, or a dog was injured on the shoulder of road and needed immediate vet care. How does handler A, assuming he is the judge handle this? Obviously at some point he needs to go back to MOH and get a judge. When? After 1 hour? I think exactly when you start the hour in this case is very important. I would start it at the point when time was called, let handlers B and C go get their dogs, and if they made it back on time score with them. If after the hour, or if they do not come back, at the hour, delete the points and go get a judge.

[B]Trees are always scored if the dog is treed while the clock is running. There is no exception to that in the rule book. They get called treed, they get scored.

First off let me say the Advisor covers this very scenario on pg 64 referenced earlier. The Advisor says clearly that the dog that was declared treed must be scored and then begin the 1 hour to go and handle the other dogs. The Advisor also mentions the fact that the dog declared treed is eligible for scoring even though time out was called because the dog was declared treed prior to time out being called.

Here's my question/comment..
Rule 5 points will be deleted (d)if judge has to call time out in accordance with Rule 8.
Rule 8 Time Out (a)when dogs are getting on highway, trail onto posted land or trail into a place where there is danger to dogs or hunters.

Seems like to me the strike & tree points for Dog A in this scenario (and the one in the Advisor) should be deleted. Right? Is there another rule that overides this thinking?

If we withdraw. Your tree ain't getting scored. Might as well round yours up to.

Here's the question you have to ask yourself. Is my ($$$$$$$) dog worth getting killed over a 15 or 20 dollar hunt? Each and everytime you turn your dog loose you risk it getting on a road.

That's the spirit! Well mine got by a road and even though yours is in there treed like a dog is supposed to heck with your tree! I mean what did we think we entered when we signed up a nite hunt? LOL

Hoosier there are special circumstances here. If I am handling b or c and we felt the dogs were in enough danger to call time,dog a is gonna get told to go tie up his dog and the hour is running to get b and c gathered and come score a. If the hour gets them then dog a is getting an unlucky break and getting deleted for the reason rbb stated. Remember the first paragraph of the rules states "honor rules". What honor is there in expecting a man to forgo his own dogs safety to score your tree? And as stated if handlers for b and c withdraw your tree aint getting scored anyway.

Your dog is by a road, you have 2 VERY SIMPLE options at this point. Help the guy score his tree or withdrawl and hope and pray you can catch your dog before it gets on or crosses the road.
