THAT is the way it is SUPPOSED to be done Tom, without a doubt. I will sure hand some minus out if I am judging. Pitching is against the rules PERIOD.
Some KCs are more strict about enforcing that than others. True story: FINAL four cast of a world hunt....3 DOGS running hard across a bean field, hit the woods and one dog bombs a tree....two dogs are immediately treed and neither is barking....it was SEVERAL seconds before either dog backed but neither was minused. BOTH should have been minused for pitching.
When dogs are running together and all of them fall treed about the same time, no one knows who treed first and it all becomes a calling game. It is about which handler can get his mouth open the fastest and holler "tree ol BOZO" HOWEVER.....when one dogs comes on a tree and it is a good while before he or she receives company, there better not be but one dog treed.
I witnessed one of the so called greats of our breed on two casts. His handler would tree him second behind anything that came treed because he knew that covering sucker was on his way. I was absolutely shocked that a dog that was a me tooing POS had won all that he had won. I mean this sucker had won on the highest level. I wouldn't have fed him one bowl full of my dog feed.
Some of the PACKERS AND BACKERS pretty much have to have a "buddy" there to stay treed. If they get left all alone, they are coming unhooked pretty often. I think this is the kind that Travis is talking about. One that might look good in a slammin and jammin thick coon cast where the whole bunch packs all night, but would look pretty shaky in a cast that scattered like a covey of quail and stayed apart all night.
