Banging on tree, shaking vines, clapping hands, etc.
Can you do it or can't you? This question came up last week and a variation of it is on the board again today. And at Walker Days a couple weeks ago, a friend of mine was on a Purina cast (non-hunting judge) and was scratched for shaking a vine with all dogs handled at the tree.
Both Todd and Allen have answered this one before but they obviously need to address it in the Advisor column in the magazine because it keeps coming up and too many are wrongly scratching handlers for it.
What both Todd and Allen have said on this forum is that pecking on the tree, banging on the tree with a rock or stick, shaking vines, all of that stuff is considered in the rules to be the same thing as squalling. You can do all of those things IF all dogs are handled OR the 7 minute mark is reached on the shinetime.
If you need to read it yourself, do a search of "Rule Qeustion". It was posted by "Maniac". The spelling of "Qeustion" is incorrect but that is how you must spell it to find it in your search. That thread is about 3 pages long but it covers the whole issue and both Todd and Allen answered the question.
