At ashland friday night

Cast heads to woods, we turn loose, dogs are tracking one by one the dogs start treeing together, as were walking to tree the judge says those two blue females are scratched. The rest of the cast looks at eachother and says what for. The judge replies for fighting, he says they were showing teeth, we argue then he says they were balled up. Keep in mind we all walked to the tree together and he is the only one who saw the dogs fight. We shine the tree, they were on a small tree tied into a den, we circle it.

We head back to the club to question the scratch, Master of hounds says if the judge saw it then he saw it. He calls on two random people, for a panel of judges, and without even hearing the story, the other two so called judges says scratch em'. The other gentleman withdrew b/c he had no ride.

haha then one of those panel judges becomes the guide and judge for his buddy and they take off to finish the hunt alone, Talk about a buddy system!


So does this mean that if I am a judge in a cast and I am worried that two dogs might beat me, I could scratch them for fighting even tho no one else saw it, and go on to win the cast. OR DID WE JUST GET OUT SMARTED

2 blue dogs? I can see where a fight did probably break out.

You have to follow the process. You ask for a cast vote. If the cast doesn't vote to overrule the judge, the judges decision goes on the card. If the cast outvotes the judge, the card must reflect that. Anyone not satisfied with the outcome of the cast vote can question it to the MOH. If you don't agree with the MOH, you file a Formal Complaint.
If you don't follow this process, you settle for whatever you get stuck with no matter how unfair it is.

The call is simply based on the opinions of the 4 cast members.

If the judge scratched 2 dogs without seeing a fight, and the other 3 cast members disagreed....Generally, I would expect the judge to be overturned by the MOH.

But I wasnt there...

Did anyone request a cast vote after the judge said he was going to scratch the dogs?

I know if I'm judging that cast, and I'm the only one who sees it, were gonna watch the dogs tree together for a short period of time before we handle em. Because if they are truly aggressive, it will happen again for all the cast to see. With that being said, there are some light broke dogs out there that are hard to catch. But if those blue dogs were light broke, the judge wouldn't have seen it to start with. Sounds to me like you got cheated/screwed/etc.

yes we did a cast vote it was three to one, judge still wanted to go to club to turn it into MOH. MOH said a vote did not matter in this situation

We did not file a formal complaint neither of our dogs have ever had a scratch against them.

Just seeing how other people viewed this and how to stop this from happening.


I guess i need to read up on my rules again lol

Well, consider this. You are the MOH. You're faced with a 3-1 vote against the judges decision on a judgement call. Three castmembers say there was no fight, the judge says there was. You as MOH, you decide to back your judge. One of the guys that got scratched says "fine, give me a Formal Complaint form and you can explain your reason for going against a 3 person majority to the fellas up at Kalamazoo" because EVERY Formal Complaint goes to and is ultimately settled by UKC.
Now our MOH knows he is gonna have to explain to UKC why he went with a judge against 3 castmembers and if he is very confident in reputation of his judge, he will gladly make that explanation. On the other hand, if he is working the buddy system with his judge, he will most likely pitch a crybaby fit and ultimately, send the whole cast back out to finish the hunt.

we probably should of fought harder for it but before we were even finished talking about it, the cast judge was walking out the door with his new guide and judge

I dont understand why the cast returned to the clubhouse.. At the point where a cast vote was requested and the judges call to scratch was overturned by a 3 to 1 vote the hunt should have continued.

Unless someone can show me where a hunting judges decision cant be reversed by a cast vote they no longer have a scratch to deal with so no need to go back.

The master of hounds probably had a dog in the cast.

The only question woud be if the judge then questioned weather or not he could be overturned.
