Message boards are created for discussion and argument. That is why they exist. Hunts have a completely different purpose. But both are plenty enough fun.

We competition hunt alot...mostly in the other kc....we'll hunt ukc to get the nitech and granitech titles..trinquits,beads and such...pleasure hunt once a week.

On the message board...all the crying is mostly due to lack of dog power and not knowing the rules..... most ALL cast in either registry are good ones.

I haven't in the last couple of years, but hope to have two dogs ready for the hunts next year. The only reason I haven't in a while is I had old dogs.

been to a multitude of them....win and lose just like everyone. Testing?...no..we don't need that, but we do need good sportsman hunters who will help others grow in the sport and learn the right ways to hunt, and the riight way to apply a rule, even if it means we get beat by doing so in a hunt....that is what we need. will it happen....well only a man's conscience can gudie him . PS: i know i can't spell.

I personally try to hunt Comp on the weekends i am off and other kc thru the week when i am off, generally i have had a good experiance in my casts, i have found that when the arguing and bickering starts its usually when someones hound is not performing the way the handler wants, this is when the Misinterpretation and the bending of the rules try's to start so it may benefit the the party complaining, that is why i like the majority vote, everyone vote suck it up if you loose go on hunting Its $20 dollars a piece of wood and a Yellow Slip. i have found that this behavior occurs more in the Registered casts when someone is trying to make something out of Nothing jmo

In this case Dave maybe there should be a pretest Test !! LOL

With example questions like:
#1 Do you own or have access to a UKC registered hound that will tree a coon that you want to put in the hunts?

#2 Have you been in five or more UKC hunts without reading the rules but have pre-conceived ideas of what they are? LOL

#3 Do you have a hound that you want to title no matter what the cost?

#4 Are you sure you want to hunt in the UKC hunts?

Then if your answer was YES to any of these questions then it would be in your and / or the cast you are ins best interest to know the rules. Hence you will need to complete the test LOL

BUT, If you answered yes to all 4 questions then you will have to complete at least 12 hours in a study group given at your local club B 4 testing !! LOL

Like I said Great Ideas start somewhere !!

If my hearing was normal I would hunt 50 per year myself.

I much prefer to hunt my own dogs, dogs that I personally have seen go from know nothing pups to coondogs. That is what it is all about to me!
As far as knowing the rules goes, I know em well enough that I usually get asked to judge my cast. Ive found that the better the people in the cast know the rules the less problems there is!
