Well you guys seem not to understand the idea behind these hunts. It is to measure the dogs against certain minimum standards. If they run trash, the dog is penalized or scratched for that. They accumulate too many mistakes, they are done. If they never open on trail, that's not allowed either. And if they stand around inside your light for 15 minutes, they are out. Now I've hunted in prolly over 100 hunts and seen a grand total of one dog scratched under that rule and that one was in PKC. One dog in all those years. I could count on my fingers the number of time I've seen the 15 or 30 started in all those years. So you guys are saying our youth will leave the sport because of something that is rare as hens teeth. Do you guys even hunt with kids???? My gawd fellas, I have never yet seen the first kid that would stand for their dog being inside the light for 15 minutes. It's absolutely incredible what some of you guys will put up with in a dog. And don't give that checkin in crap or the woods today are too small. Nobody's getting scratched or even clocked for hunting close. Unless they are struck on the card, they are not even penalized for checking in. This rule is strictly limited to a dog that stays in your light for 15 continuous minutes. Get real and think about what you're defending here.
