Dogs A. and B. are struck in and treed. Dog C. is not struck in nor declared treed and has not been heard at all. When the Judge arrives at the tree all three dogs are at the tree and the tree is slick. Dog.C is standing on the tree and even bouncing around a little and is sniffing the bark and at the most maybe whinning a little but is not barking. The rules say that a dog that is treeing but not declared as such when the judge arrives will be awarded the next available tree position and then minused. Can you do this if the dog is obviously showing the tree but not barking? Also if you do award and minus the tree points do you do anything with strike points? This happened at a hunt last night and we where definately confused as to what to do LOL!

Read rule 4. G. Dogs treeing but not declared treed when judge arrives will be minused tree points on off game or slick tree. Tree points will be determined by next available position. That may not be word for word I just typed thar from memory but you get the jist of it.

Well I'm gonna take the position that if the dog is not barking, then it is not treeing, and therefore should NOT be awarded the next available and minused. It seems that what you are saying is that you never heard, nor seen the dog bark, therefore I don't see how you can award, since it does require a dog to be barking before it can be declared struck or treed.

This one is answered in the Advisor, this exact question. Kellam says the dog must be treeing for rule 4(g) to be applied. Was the dog treeing or wasn't it? That is a judges call and the only question the judge needs to answer is treeing or not treeing and was the dog treed when the judge arrived.
As for strike points, when 4(g) is applied, strike points are minused unless the strike was shut out.

Dog has to be barking to be declared treed so no dog should not have been assigned next available. If you were standing on a fence row and no leaves on a moonlit night you can see a coon in a tree a dog trails into it shuts up and just keeps standing on the tree even jumping up on the tree, would you accept a tree call from a handler? No treeing is barking. Strike points would be minused according to rule 4d (as jim said 4g directs you to 4d)

I would give the dog 50- on tree (next available) nothing on strike because its shut out. The dog was on the wood bouncing around whining it's showing tree (Minus).

It has to be TREEING, that is the operative word. If you wouldn't accept it as treeing to plus it on a coon you can't assign minus to it on a slick or off game.

If it didn't bark it can't be treeing because you can't tree a dog that isn't barking (legally anyway LOL).

So if they would have treed the dog in would you give it plus points. I bet you would so why not minus. The dog is showing tree it's minused. By some of your line of thinking lets say all 3 were treed in you get there and 1 dog is on tree but not barking you gonna give him plus I bet you will because he's showing tree.

I can't except any call I can't hear first. If I couldn't hear it strike. They couldn't have treed it.

The dog would be minused next available on tree because it was slick. you would not be able to minus strike points because it was shut out. dog does not have to be treed in on a slick tree to be minused on tree.

You don't have a choice to not handle the dog.

What if there had been a possum in the tree would that have changed anybody's mind? I would have felt that if the dog was standing on the wood bouncing around then it was "molesting" off game because it had it cornered and was preventing the possums escaoe down the tree. Do you have to bark to molest? Couldn't a dog silently catch and kill a possum or skunk and still be either minused or scratched? Or technically a dog only has to bark once every two minutes to be plussed so should we have stood there for two minutes to see if the dog barks? In my opinion the purpose of this rule is to minus guys who really know their dogs. I know if my dog rolls in on a tree a doesn't locate right that their is a good chance that something is wrong. In a situation like that I am gonna either not tree my dog or wait till the last second. This rule is designed to punish thise dogs doing wrong but their handler knows them well enough to know they are wrong and are hoping their dog gets the heck out of dodge. JMO

So if the dog doesnt have to bark to be considered molesting game does that mean you get minused or scratched if your dog never barks but comes in and smells like he got sprayed by a skunk?
