The Professor and myself made a drop and as we stood on a hill his hound open to our right and at the same time mine open to our left. They were really getting after it and bang they hit the same tree at the same time. We got there and started to shine and I seen a slick tail, a deer that was hung in a fork he must have timed his jump wrong and a coon. Professor said he only seen the deer and wanted to minus the tree!!! We went and found both hounds tracks in the mud and they both had a coon track. So we go back to the tree and shine some more and he than sees the coon. So the question is, does he take circle because he couldn't find both coon only mine. Do we get minus because off game was seen? I said circle because we BOTH could not agree so there was not a majority.

Circle because they were both open hounds BUT had they been in a Nite or Grand Nite cast they would have both been scratched. No majority or coon can save a Nite Ch or Gr Nite Ch if under a tree with "OFF GAME" seen in it. 10 coon and a house cat in the same tree will send you home if you have a hunt title on old Blue.

wrong answer Any time off game is seen for a Nite Ch or Gr Nite they are scratched. It's under "dogs will be scratched" in the rule book.

6. DOGS WILL BE SCRATCHED:

*(k) In Nite Champion and Grand Nite Champion
casts, for running, treeing or molesting off game during
hunting time including any time out periods prior
to the expiration of hunt time.


Call it bad luck or what ever you want, but it's pretty much cut and dry.

Its like reading the bible or laws..purpose or intent.If the coon is seen...then the possum dont matter...or whatever else..like a circle tree...benefit of doubt...you can make any ruling you want but it will get overturned if it aint the right one and goes back to to master of hounds as a question.

What if 4 dogs tree in a Gr Nt cast and are handled. All 4 handlers find a possum. Now 2 of the handlers keep shining and see a coon but the other 2 handlers don't see the coon. Then what do you do? You have 2 handlers voting to plus the tree and 2 voting to scratch all 4 dogs. Do you just scratch the 2 dogs of the handlers that did not see the coon?

or what if 2 guys leave the rest of the cast at a run and score the tree before the other members get there claiming a dog at the tree was not at the tree to be able to win the cast? Answer before was...you dont know for sure unless you were on the cast...does this fit the same criteria?

Thinking that one over. I have found myself thinking that one over. I know how it gets scored but it is tricky.
One Rule reads..All scores MUST be plus ,minus, circle or delete. MOH tells us that before the hunts.
Another rule reads...When no majority is reached the dogs get the BENEFIT and the trees are circled.
Another rule reads.... Trees will be minused for off game and scratched if NiteCh or GrNiteCh. Does that mean minused first then moved up to scratch in case's of NiteCh's.and GrNite's.

If I have this happen to me and I am one of the 2 handlers that see a coon and I am positive I see this coon in a tree with a possum in it. I for sure do not want scratched.

HMMMM makes ya think.

I bet we will see this one in the Bloodlines . We all can learn ,I'm glad I learned how to score it correctly. Even some MOH's get this one wrong from time to time.

There is the key. As usual you have a great way of explaining things. If 2 vote to plus or minus and 2 vote to circle, then the tree gets circled. So if you can't minus the tree then you can't scratch the dogs. Now that is the way that I see it. And Tylerman, yes it does.

sounds simple enough....just depends on the loss of integrity and the need to win sometimes

Caught Coon with Possum Overhead
Scenario: In a Registered cast, my dog is the only one treed. We found her treed on an old beech tree with a hole in the bottom of it. When we arrived, she had her head inside the hole and her shoulders up against the hole. That’s as far as she could get inside the hole. There’s a possum perched on one of the lower limbs in the tree, but there’s also a freshly killed kitten coon lying inside the hole where her head was. How do you score this?

RP/IN

A: Whenever you have both a coon and off game in the same tree, we say to give the dogs the benefit of the doubt and plus their points. No consideration is taken for the off game. The same should go for this scenario, other than you would consider the coon caught opposed to treed. Therefore, delete the tree points and award strike points only. Forget the possum even existed. My question to you is; did “Lucky” win her cast that night?

so all who say minus/scratch you are WRONG

You can not score on a dead coon. so tree is minus. Even when you know what happened sometimes the rules have to be followed in order to give integrity to the sport. Sorry

Is there a difference between a dead coon in a tree and a coon caught on the ground. I thought in a tree is minus on the ground is plus strike.

Which comes first the chicken or the egg.

lets make everyone think .
If you see a possum in a tree do you minus or scratch the dogs first then look for a coon or do you look for a coon and score later ?
Is scratching a dog for treeing off game a part of scoring the tree ?
