You are scratched! Just what part of "dog comes into the tree" do people not understand? It is worded very simply. It does not say anything about barking, getting up on the tree, smelling around, going over to the owner, stopping, etc. etc. If you are standing at a tree and you can see the dog, then he "came into the tree". If the judge says,"handle your dog" and you don't/ can't then you are scratched. I am sorry but those are the rules that we agree to abide by when we sign up for a hunt. If you don't like them or don't agree with them, then don't try to add your interpretation. You need to try to have the rule changed.
Really....... if my dog has been struck and not declared treed and is working a track and you scratch me because "you can see him from the tree" and i dont handle him, WE are making a trip back to the clubhouse. Iv had it happen and after we minused the slick treeers we went to my dog who finished the track with the coon.
