If a cast sends handler/handlers to a split tree and after scoring first tree judge is walking towards the next tree that needs to be scored, what happens if he can not hear dog/dogs on that split tree when he gets to where he should be able to? Can a judge run a 2 minute clock on dogs that probably have been handled, but are not barking? I know a lot of folks like to hush their dogs at a tree once they are handled, on hot nights especially, but if the judge can't hear dogs how does he know where to go? Should he run the 2 and then the 8? What if a handler has gone to that tree and handled the judges dog for him?

i dont know what you do if you cant find the dog because its quite but dont think you can run anything on it once its handeled...maybe try hollaring if no other dogs or tracking or not handeled.... i had something similar happen to me where i went and handeled my dog and then was gonna meet them at their tree.... when i got mine handeled they couldnt be heard.... walked that way for close to an hour.... finally just decided to get my dog and go to the truck(withdrew) come to find out they had been doing the same thing looking for me... they finally give up and came to the truck also..... would like to see the answer to this tho

Exactly right. Joe if you want to let me walk 5 or 6 hundred yards to go handle my dog and come all the way back to score the tree im fine with it but the cast is going to be waiting a while. Im not letting my dog tree for 15 or 20 or who knows how many minutes why a guy shines his tree for 10 minutes. Remember it onky takes a majority to score any given tree.

If a dog shuts up it cant be minused in any situation once its handled. However if the handler isnt smart enough to realize he needs to show the cast where his dog is treed at then he deserves minus however you can apply it

In this situation, if you just have one judge and the other handler goes to the tree alone, all you can do is rely upon his basic honesty to run the 2 on his dog if it shuts up before it gets handled. Unless it was just plain obvious that the dog shutup before the handler could have possibly got to it but even then, as the judge, you would have to be able to judge that dog while you are walking to the other dogs. Not likely.

I think maybe we should get an official UKC statement on this. How long as a judge do you spend looking for a dog that is not barking? One hour?

What if another dog is on track? Obviously you could cut loose to it, but if it gets treed in the meantime, while you are wandering around the woods for an hour looking for a dog that is not barking, should you leave and go score the dog that is?
IMO, no matter what UKC's policy is, it seems completely unreasonable to put a cast in a situation where they are walking around a woods looking for a dog not barking. Seems that to simplify things good policy would state that the two can be applied until the judge arrives.
It can be hard enough to get to a dog that is barking, finding ways across streams, wet holes, thickets, etc. With your Garmin turned off how do you try to go in a straight line towards where the dog was treed?
How do you know the dog/dogs are handled?

You have to score that dog that was treed and handled. You have to scored it in the order it was treed. And you can't run the hour on that dog, there is no rule to support that. What do you do? Look for that dog tlll you find it.

Rules say you can handle spilt go to your dog, I have done it a few times but will see to it to let him bark enough once in awhile so others can get to me to score, would not just sit quiet in the dark and they can't find me? I Have quieted mine down when it's hot even give him a drink out of my water bottle but feel they must bark so others can find you, just can't see anyone just sittin in the dark quiet and expect others to find em LOL, just? Like Max said also maybe selective hearing also couldn't find him, but doubt that any 3 would do that to a handler, or at least I wouldn't! plus i don't solely depend on my Garmin to navigate I still use a compass,have to when guiding and hunting?

I don't think its very common truly. Like I said if a guy can't get his dog. to bark here and there once its handled then somethings seriously wrong. My Mouse female often hushes when I handle her split but you can bet I make sure she barks once I hear the others hush. Then I know they are done scoring the tree and will be headed my way.

Hoosier, yes you are right, very uncommon. Never seen it in 20 years. Don't know how [or why] they got 3 dogs to hush at a tree.
Randy- not a matter of selective hearing. The judges dog was one of them that had been handled at that split tree [by other handlers given permission to do so, so that judge could come and score my tree.]

i have only had it happen one time in over 20 years but it was a nightmare the night it happened.... i finally just took it upon myself and went to the truck and waited them out.... thank goodness they didnt look for me near as long as i looked for them.... this was a case where 2 dogs were treed in opposite directions and all you could do to hear either one.... only 2 dogs treed and the other 2 leash locked.... the judge and the other 2 went to score thier tree and then were gonna come to mine.... this was before the ruling that if it took more than 15 minutes to get to a tree you could call timeout but i dont think it would have come into play except for the return trip for them to my tree... if in the case in this question all dogs were treed after walking 15 minutes timeout should have been called until dog was found then time in called and tree shined.... that way you dont burn all the hunt time looking for a treed dog not barking

I dont think you can run the 2.

If my dog is split a ways off i just let it tree. If it will stay 5 min it should stay 25 min.

Seems that the garmins have created a generation of hunters that cant take a reading on a compass. For this to be a problem you would need acombination of rare things to happen, 1 a dog that wont bark after being handled and 2 being split so far that you cant guess close enough to find a hunters light.
