The handler in this case probably should have known his dog a little better and suggested that the cast move in to see exactly what was going on in which case the dog wouldnt have been given the undeserved minus.
Why not correct a mistake when it becomes apparent?

Very simply, you said in the very first post it moved. End of story, it's minused.

If the cast votes that the hound was in the brush pile the whole time of course you erase the minuse. You can erase a minus I would think if the majority of the cast votes on it. The key is that the cast votes on how to score the tree and then proceed accordingly. I had this happen once in PKC and I know that they allow for common sense things. Its kind of like a hound that gets minused for moving deeper in the woods and then you find that it had its head in a hole. You have to vote on it. I think the best scenerio is to see what UKC Advisor has to say about erasing a minus if the majority of the cast agrees.

Why so intent on punishing a dog that simply did the best it could given the situation when we have the option of correcting the minus to more accurately reflect the dogs performance?

I'll whip the crap outta mine for getting in a brush pile. Same as a hole. No business in either one. I don't care if 10 coons are in there!

As you said, coon went into brushpile in one place, well coon went up tree in one place.

Why should brushpile on ground be different than touching trees?

If my dog gets hung-up on a fence , and I call him treed , and then he gets over it , moves (and gets minused) and trees again in 40 yards (with the coon) , you still gonna un-minus him?
Or , if he is called treed , and there are grapevines running down the edge of the woods. And then he moves 40 yards away from where he was called treed , you still gonna un-minus him?

You evidently missed the un minus thread I started cause you do go back and un minus. In ukc. Not in Pkc
