Schaffer, that is the hole point I was making. If they are the only dog on that tree you have no reference from other dogs if that track was on the ground or laid up.

Doug, I think Kellam made it official that at this point in time, it is a judges decision. My take on it is that if the cast vote fails to overturn the judges decision, then the MOH is suppose to back the judge.

I think this rule should be taken out of UKC hunts like it is in PKC and AKC. If some one can't beat me while i'm hunting a silent mouth hound, when there striking for 100, 75, or 50 and i'm always getting 25 they need to check the end of there leash. I mean do the math if I get 25 strike and 125 tree on 2 coon i've got 300. If a good strike dog has 100 strike and 125 on 2 coon, he's got 450. So the only way I usually win cast is by treeing 1 more coon than the rest of the dogs in the cast and I don't think I should be scratched for that for having a smart dog that knows if he keeps his mouth shut he'll tree more coon

I agree with you --but as a rule in the night hunt rules the MOH has to deal with when it comes back in on a score card as a ?--and as it is worded now it creates a real problem some times
