People get on here and argue rules and the response from some is this "You won't scratch me for that." Well it is like I said earlier, a judment call by the judge. If he sees aggressive behavior and it seems to be discouraging the other dog(s) then he can make the call to scratch that dog. If I am judging a cast and see a dog facebark, push, or otherwise try to intimidate other dogs, I will watch and see how they act when that dog is tied back. I have asked people to tie a certain dog back and then watch and see what the difference is. I don't hunt with most of these dogs every night and I need to see how they act without the dog around. If it is different, then I make a call. I don't think you can go wrong with a little investigating. I have actually had people tell me their dog will push or facebark a little and that really suprises me that people will hunt these dogs in a hunt. Knowing what they may cause. It is a cut and dry rule and most people who have been around hunts long know when to scratch and when not to. Best advice is to leave your trouble makers at home and you won't get into trouble.
