So let me make sure I have this right. 4 dog cast- 4 dogs catch a possum on the ground. Judge says "all four dogs minused for off game". A cast member questions the call, a vote is called for, and with a 2 to 2 vote the judges call stands, because it takes a majority of cast to overturn judges decision. Now later in the same cast, dogs tree a possum. two cast members vote to minus, two vote to plus [they claim it is a raccoon] and the tree is deleted. On the next tree two cast members claim to see a raccoon, two can not see it and think the tree is slick, so vote to minus. This tree gets circled.
Now here is my question, what if dogs bay a possum under a riverbank overhang- they are making minimal contact with it, so it is not "in a place of refuge", but two cast members say that it is. So now you have a 2 to 2 vote about whether it is a place of refuge, or if it is caught. If the judge is on the side of caught, then it is treated as caught, and judge may minus it. If the judge says it is in a place of refuge then it comes down to a vote as to whether it is a possum, or maybe just an extremely muddy raccoon. And by now the critter has crawled up into a rootball on the riverbank overhang, and is out of site. Now the cast votes based on what they saw in that split second as they were pulling their dogs off.
In the above scenario does the judge have to be overturned by a majority of the cast in his determination of what a tree or place of refuge is? Does "scoring the tree" include deciding if it is a tree or place of refuge?
would this be a purina hunt??? LOL sorry, inside joke.
