How about this... You're in the UKC World Semi Finals. You're leading the cast with 225+, the nearest dog to you has 25+. Less than an hour remains in the hunt. You're packing a 1st strike dog, all you need is to take your strike pts and lay back the rest of the hunt.
Dogs are cast. You take your 1st strike. The other 3 get struck. One dog loads up on a tree and is treed. Shortly before the 5 is up, 2 other dogs are declared treed along with the other one but clearly they don't sound right. Meanwhile your dog is out opening in a cornfield. Cast arrives at tree and handles 3 dogs and begins to score. Tree appears to be slick ('pert near bare elm along the edge of the timber) but there is some foilage and grapevines down low. One handler thinks they may have seen an eye but no one can find a coon. Cast decides to wait until 7 minutes so they can squall. 7 is up, 3 handlers are squalling and making a ruckus hoping something will look. 8 minutes and 30 seconds gone on the shine time your dog comes in to the tree, your instructed to handle your dog. Just after you tie your dog back, a possum is found.
Of course, no one wants they're dog to come walking in to cover a tree, especially that late, especially with off game. Heck, I'd volunteer to minus my strike but that's not the rules.
The rules says to delete for coming into a tree after the cast.
Are you still going to withdraw with 20+ minutes left to hunt by yourself in some of the finest coon hunting in the country?
YES and Blueticking: it, If one of mine did it, they'd be in some big doo doo!!
