I noticed PKC reduced the hunt time for their world hunt and a couple other major events.

I hope this doesn't become common in UKC. I for one would like the super slams and Grand Masters to be 2 hour hunts. Pay more to hunt less isn't very appealing, at least to me anyway.

They are decreasing hunt time on week long, 2 rounds per night hunts. UKC doesn't have any of them.

90 minutes of hunt time with four dogs split a mile apart is a good long hunt plus correct me if im wrong..ukc you can call time out between trees correct??

I am in favor of 90 minute hunts, I think it would help with getting guides because you wouldn't have to have as many places to hunt and I believe it would increase entries because you wouldn't have to have as late of a deadline as you would with a 2 hour hunt. I might be wrong but this is just my opinion.

Whether it’s 2 hours or 90minutes the dogs are going to hunt the same. Just because the hunt time is decreased to 90 minutes does t mean the dogs going to throw on the brakes and say I’ve onky got 90 minutes not 2 hours. A lot are saying do away with the leash lock since hunt time is decreased. I don’t see this helping with the reason behind the change. Lack of guides and hunting grounds.
