I guess what i'm getting at is maybe this rule needs to be changed. When the hunt is over it's over! Plain and simple! [/B][/QUOTE]

If all dogs treed before the hunt time was up then the hunt would be over when all dogs was caught right. You payed your money to be a part of the cast right? Now be a sport and help the man get his dog back.

It sure makes the decision much easier to stay at home and take a good pleasure hunt after dealing with some situations.

So lets just say the same situation I described happened to you one night. You won the cast but dagon it if the deadline was 3 a.m. and it is now 2:10 a.m.

You just shinned youre last tree as the time in the hunt expired but ol slick willi treed his dog before the hunt time was over about a half a mile away and he says youre coming to score my dogs tree and if you don't youre scratched! Even though you will win weather his dog has a coon or a slick tree.

So you walk with him to find his dog treed and he takes 9 minutes to shine the tree and is now satisfied. Well it's back to the truck we go a half a mile plus away and by the time you make it back it's 2:50 a.m. you just missed deadline due to scorring a pointless tree.

See a problem yet????????

If its important to Handler B that you score his tree, then score it. Because you don't want to walk, o rbecause the deadline is coming up are not good reasons to not score the tree.

Todd brings up a good point he might want it scored.

Another reason he might want it scored in the state of MO is that non-cast winners with plus points can still receive MO Fed. points.

If the guy has been a prick all night and is just being a prick now, I might have another solution but I ain't gonna post it...

I will say that if the guy was afraid of the dark or a youth or a nice guy I would have had no problem going in with him. John youre last statement pretty much sumarized that judge.

I think he threatened to scratch everyone in the cast at least 2 times.

Joe, how many times did you hear the words if you do this or that youre scratched?

He struck my dog on the last cut and it was so obvious it was ridiculous and when I asked him where was he striking his dog he threatened to scratch me LOL

If I were Dog B's handler, I would not have made anyone go score my tree. However, for someone that wants to play completely by the rules, there are things that are still under the authority of the judge, that could still get Dog A scratched. So there was still a possibility that Dog B could win provided he got plussed on his last tree.

As I'm sitting here getting ready for tomrrow ( I'm the master of hounds ) for a YEP event I have been reading the rules alot this week. With that thought is why i 1st posted to this tread with the RULE answer to your question. Todd broght up a point on score card being signed. Here is 1 more RULE reason you needed to go to the tree. Rule #13 states that a MOH/HD can make math error corrections to the score card. A good MOH/HD should recheck the math on all score cards and with the scores all that close should use a calculator. One other good point was made by blueticker in the order that the trees was scored

RQE,POOR BOY,BREED HUNT ect..... all is indefrent to this question

this original post was bottom line was can dogs be scrached for not scoring a tree a RULES QUESTION

this question as been answered .... rule 1 rule 17 page 49&50 of the advisor YES THEY CAN BE SCRACHED

as Todd and I both pointed out reasons why
...card not signed
...math error

either of them could make a difrance in the out come of this cast and can be corrected by the MOH/HD

Dog A and C get in a dog fight before the score card is turned in.
Dog A grabs a possum while walking out.

Two other distance possibilities that could happen.

Not saying either would have happened or that's the way I would want to win but some people will take a win anyway that they can get it. They figure if they don't play it all the way out, they'll lose their chance.

I would not be able to look at someone and and feel I was doing them right if I were to uphold a scratch because they did not want to walk into a meaningless tree. Troy, all that matters is that the cast winner signs the card and the score is correct. Moh's do not even look at other scores on a score card. If the dog did not win the cast his score is meaningless hence why it is pointless to score a tree that cannot effect the outcome in a cast.

CSW...this post has been on for 10 hours now. It is painfuly obvious that you are missing some of the rules

you said ONLY the winnner needs to sign the scorecard Please read Rule #13

AS a MOH and whom I servered under as an apprentist DO check all score on a card and check the math IF a card would come into me with JUST ONE SIGNATRUE I would have to wounder if you hunted alone. and why you did not come back for a non hunting judge and toss the card out.

Im not here to sit and argue with you...you asked a question you got your answers.

I will give you a peice of advice...if you do not own one buy a rule book and an Advisor book....read them

Sit down with a MOH and ask them what all they look at on a score card and see what others do some my not chose to check all score and trust the judge and cast with math me personaly i like math and i do check them all.

Hope you keep hunting compotition it is fun with the right cast and im sorry that you drew into a cast that was not fun but it looks like from the scores it was a good competive cast means their were 3 good dogs out their and keep ya on your top A game

You can ask anyone that knows me Troy I know the rules and I know them very well. The point is it should NOT be required to walk into a tree that can in no way shape or form effect the outcome of the cast. As an experienced handler I know when to hold them and when to fold them "as they say". I know when I'm out doged I know when I'm beat. I obviously knew the rule or else I would have not walked in there with him. The fact is I shouldn't have had to I won no matter what. Bleedz red I'm not even wasting my time replying to you're comment. I take pride in treating cast members with respect so do NOT question my character unless you know me personally. I would like to hear aof a few of you hear soon going way out of you're way to score a tree that is meaningless to the outcome of a cast. Maybe then you will have a different outlook on this.

The man paid to hunt the whole two hour hunt,The hunt is not over until all tree's are scored.He could have made you score the tree's in the proper order and you would still have to go to that tree.If you don't like the rules,maybe you could try fishing.

Shoot in this situation go ahead walk in there and score the tree, I could care less if you come back saying the dog had a groundhog or 30 coon up the tree, the tree is pointless.

Fact of the matter is a "crook" can try to get someone scratched in this kind of situation as a "last hope" situation. I was just beta by a better dog but I'm guna make this fellar walk to my dog a half a mile away and in actuality "I hope he doesn't" so I can scratch him!

That sound about right?

Joe culler did I come across as any of these things Grady listed?You are still missing the point! The point is any member of the cast should not be required to walk to a meaningless tree. Just delete the points fill out the score card exchange hand shakes and go on with you're business.

You come off pushy on here and I bet you do in the woods even if you don't realize it. Sounds like to me he just pushed back. I am sure you are going to say now just ask anyone how nice of guy I am. Well very few will tell you the truth about yourself. It is just an opinion BUT I woud say he was trying to make a point and it went over your head.

CWS, I would like for you to write a rulebook version of "meaningless tree". What is meaningless and what isn't? Write your version and then stand back and consider how full of holes your idea is. You would be the first one on here screaming about how you got screwed because the cast woudn't score your dogs meaningless tree.

Sure I can list one. Spring classic back to back cast wins at upper sandusky ohio a few months back. My female I'm hunting now I made a nite ch in 6 hunts and won back to back to back nite champion wins and she is 2. Just drew joe culler from this board this past weekend at an RQE and won. Won nite chs the past two weeks before that as well. My 7 cast win streak just got broke last night. The english dog I handled I finished to a nite ch in 4 hunts and put 3 wins toward grand in 4 nite ch hunts, would be grand but he was killed at the age of 2. My female before that I won 580 dollars in pkc with and I finshed her to grand in 8 months. The male I owned at the same time was a nite ch with 3 wins toward grand and he was poisoned by a neighbor or he would be grand. In 3 akc casts I have won 2 of the 3. Does that satisfy you're question? Jim when that last second ticks of the hunt time any tree that cannot catch the cast leader/winner is in fact meaningless. It should just be deleted, see I'm entitled to my oppinions same as you all are. Attack me all you want, I can assure you I can take it. Coon hunting is fun or at least it should be. Rules are rules and I do my best to follow those rules but some need a good hard looking at because some things can definatly be improved.
