We were out hunting and my friends and i like to compete and we were down to 15 minutes of hunt time left. We cut lose and the dogs struck and treed. Time was over just as we got to the tree. Do you shine the tree and score it. My understanding is that shining time is included in your hunt time so if you are out of time you do not score the tree.
I have looked on the back of the score card and in the rule book and can't find anything pertaining to shining after time has run out.

If you treed your dog before time was up and he stayed treed till you got there then you get your full time to shine. Thats my understanding.

Any dog(s) declared treed before time is out or called out will be scored.

If you look under Rule 17 it's in there and the sentence reads,
"Dogs declared treed within hunting time, are eligible for scoring."

That's a nice way to get to know the rules better, my Dad and I do it similar.
