HANDLED IS HANDLED, NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSE OR OUTCOME.
I DONT THINK THAT YOU COULD SCRATCH ANYONE FOR HANDLING YOUR DOG.
IT DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ANYWHERE IN THE RULES WHERE I COULD FIND IT.
11. HANDLERS AND JUDGES:
No trees to be climbed or coon to be killed. Where dogs split up Judge will go with handler to the dog that trees first. If a split tree is obvious (Judge’s decision), split tree must be declared. Separate time must be kept on each tree unless all dogs are declared treed. Permission will be given for other handlers to go to their dogs on split tree, otherwise cast must remain together unless time out is called. Split tree cannot be shined until Judge arrives. After five minutes, first dog’s tree may be checked and that dog kept on leash until tree is scored, then he must be turned loose with other dogs that are opening on trail and will receive 25 points credit or discredit as deserved, or next available position. However, if dog(s) are already treed, do not release any dogs. No credit allowed for dog brought to tree. All handlers must stay with Judge at all times unless given permission by Judge to leave. Judge will be first to arrive at tree. WHERE WAS THE JUDGE? IN MY OPINION, IF THIS PERSON THAT HANDLED THE DOGS WAS NOT THE JUDGE, I WOULD HAVE QUESTIONED GETTING SCRATCHED FOR FIGHTING, BECAUSE HAD THAT PERSON NOT HANDLED BOTH DOGS AND PUT THEM BOTH ON THE SAME LEAD, THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE FOUGHT. WAS THEIR ANY AGGRESSION BETWEEN THE TWO UNTIL THIS POINT? HAD THEY FOUGHT ON THE TREE OR ANYWHERE ELSE?
17. GENERAL INFORMATION:
When a dog is declared treed, Judge is not to let anyone go to the tree and start shining in less than five minutes, unless all dogs have been declared treed. This is a courtesy to other handlers and also to see that a dog will hold his tree. If at all possible, be at the tree within five (5) minutes. If handlers are so far from tree that it will take more than five minutes to get to tree, they are to start walking toward tree, but stopping all along to let other handlers see if their dog is treeing. Judge is not to let any handler keep holding him away from tree just to let dog get to tree after five minutes are up. Dog must hold the tree for five minutes, unless all dogs in cast are declared treed. If one dog in cast, or one dog remaining in cast, dog must hold tree for five minutes. Dogs declared treed within hunting time, are eligible for scoring. When hunting time is up, cast can go directly to tree. Dogs at tree must be leashed. IT DOES NOT SAY “MUST BE LEASHED BY THE OWNER/HANDLER, AND IF LEASHED BY ANYONE ELSE THAT HANDLER/SPECTATOR WILL BE SCRATCHED” Judges are not to let hunters call dogs off a trail without counting those points minus. No encouragement or discouragement of any kind to dogs. Dog should not be minused tree points if he comes back a short distance to meet handler if dog goes back in and trees satisfactorily. Judge should be informed of such peculiarities before hunt. No squalling nor any action deemed to be interfering with dog(s) to be done until all dogs declared struck are at tree and leashed. Individual holding first tree controls shining of tree for first two minutes. Two spectators per handler will be allowed on all casts. Spectators may not shine tree. Handler’s dog(s) will be scratched for rule violations by their spectators.
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, AND MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RULES, BUT I DONT THINK ANYONE COULD BE SCRATCHED JUST FOR HANDLING SOMEON ELSE'S DOG.
 here's were i live
http://www.trapperbill.com
here is were i hunt. in my back yard, i got 12,500 acres i pay to hunt, and im surrounded by 30 thousand acres.
IF I HAD TO HUNT AROUND ANY ROADS OR TRAFFIC ID STAY HOME. I CAN TREE A COON WHILE IM SITTING IN THAT POOL hehehehe
and i dont like guys handling my dogs, unless there my buddies, or i give them permission.
BUT ID SAY YES IF MY DOG OR YOUR DOG WAS IN A STREET, ID LIKE SOMEONE TO GET HIM OUT.
but the question didnt ask about a street. it said creek and everyone esle went anouther route to the dogs ??
who's dog was still treeing ?? it sounded to me like his dog was ? and he was holding the two other dogs ??
but i wasnt there, thats why i said, and i quote
-------------------------------------------------
i ant got a rule book, but if another man handled my dog id like him scratched. hehehehe
however we didnt get the whole story ?? maby the judge could see all this take place from his side of the creek ??
and all was ok ??
maby i ought to mind my own business till i figure out the rules of this new game im in love with
---------------------
