Mr. Old Man, I would say that the vast majority of handlers are fair and honest. If you treat them with respect and are fair then they will be that way also. If you start out paranoid, with a chip on your shoulder or a smart aleck attitude, then you are not going to have a very good time. Also if you don't know the rules, you are going to have a hard time. The vast majority of people that "think" that they got cheated, didn't. It seems that some people get "cheated" all of the time while others don't ever get "cheated". I wonder why that is? A lot of times you just get a bad break or have some bad luck or your dog does something wrong. It happens, you just have to suck it up and go on. You can't blame it on the rest of the cast. I do know of a lot of people that never get beat. They think that their dog is always the best so if they lose then they must have been cheated. Human nature being what it is, you are always going to have a few bad apples. If you lined up 10 strangers on the street, how many of them would be honest if they were in some sort of competition. Go to a Little League ball game and check out the parents in the grandstands some time. Ask them how many times their kids get cheated. Competition coonhunting is just a reflection of everyday life. Some people can't stand the nite hunts but then some people can't even stand their own lives also. Don't go by the stories you hear, even mine, because I might not always tell the truth. I hate to get beat just like everyone else. Get out there and experience it for yourself. And 98% of the time, the dog makes the handler, the handler does not make the dog.
Richard....i love that last line....but somewhere over the last 3 years you seem to have flip flopped ..... because recently you have made comments that seem to say the opposite....so which is it
