cant wait to see the replies here.... mike
You cant just assume and start scratching dogs. I was at a hunt once and 3 dogs took off 500 miles an hr and even the handlers said that it sounded like off game, they took this thing 1/2 mile and i mean flat out getting it....after about 5 min they came treed and had the coon. everyone in the cast thought they were on off game and they wernt. I think a judge should see whats up before they just start scratching....now fighting is another story....If I hear a fight and start to the tree and dogs quickly stop i would give them a min. to see whats up, if nothing happens again and i cant figure out the aggressor we will continue to hunt...now if there balled up when i get there and the aggressor is not determind they will both be gone. most people thinks the dog winning the fight is the aggressor...that's not always the case.
