IT'S NO WONDER SO MANY GUYS FEEL THE WAY THEY DO ABOUT NOT COMPATION HUNTING OR BELIEAVEING IN A LOT OF THE BIG HUNT RESAULTS.....

Sorry Tom but that's the way it is. I'll bust my butt just as hard to find your coon as I would look for mine, but if someone can't extend that same courtesy to all the other cast members, they aren't going to continue to get my help. If that makes me a crook so be it.

The poll says 90% will help find a coon in anyone's tree, but my experience in the hunts tells me about 30% of them folks are lying. I might not shine your tree if you're being a jerk, but at least I'm honest.

You guys are talking like a bunch of hardened criminals. My personal belief is that circumstantial integrity is no integrity at all. I've had people intentionally overlook a coon or two my dog treed and it hasn't changed my mind. You're either one of them or you aren't.

..the thing is..............our hunts around here have shrunk since the late 70's-early 80's, when we AVERAGED 60-70 dogs a hunt.......now a GOOD turnout is 15-25 dogs..............and it's mostly the same folks...........EVERYBODY knows who the scoundrels that need to try to scratch somebody to win/not see their coon are.................and who the honest hunters are.........

Im sure it happens, but I have never once been on a cast where anyone went blind at the tree.

I makes me wonder a bit about those that have it happen on a cosistant basis.

This thread is called Honesty Check, yet a couple guys who answered honestly are getting flamed. LOL!

I'd bet 50% of the 90% are lying! Experience in the hunts says other wise!

I've had a judge go blind on a cast. Not my dog's tree, but he did. He then went blind on another one and wouldn't see the coon until after the shine time.

I'm glad his sorry dog never made a tree all night, because I guarantee I wouldn't work too hard to find his coon.

Some of you are getting mixed up. I haven't seen anyone post on here that said they'd refuse to look at a coon or score a tree honestly, all that was said is that if you are a jerk to other cast members we aren't going to help you find yours. You can find it and show it to me. Play nice and you'll never have a problem with me. If that makes me the bad guy, so be it.

Honesty Check my ass. About as honest as a poll asking if you have a dog trees coons or a dog that trees trees. Bet that one gets 90% on one side too.

I will help anyone unless they have pissd me off or won't return the favor.


I will never forget last year at bluetick days we turned 1/4 mile from woods. All dogs were quiet. My banjo dog struck and drifted a track off to the right. All other dogs struck to the left and proceeded to the left. They treed and we went and scored their tree. No coon found and circled. Pulled them off the tree and Banjo was sitting wayyy in yonder hooked by himself with first and first . We got to the tree and and it was a small vinny tree goingg into a bunch of big trees.......we shined and shined and all of a sudden an older fellow in the cast that was missing one of his arms said "HEEERRRREee he is!" He was way back and found both eyes anf eventually the whole coon. That sat me purty. Was a great hunt and I have a lot of respect for that old fella. He didn't care who won. Just as long as it was the best hound and that's how it should be
