why is it that all the people complaining about slick handling are those without much competition hunting experience? you not knowing what you are doing doesnt mean the handler that does is slick. you can question any call made as an active participant in your cast.

This was not a pkc hunt. This is a new organization with a completely different set of rules. I am not gonna get into I should of done this or I should of done that. I did everything possible within the rules of this kc that could be done. Chances are, most people on this forum has never read the rules of this kc, so lets not turn it into that. I was just giving an example of it does not happen often, but it does happen.
I have no hard feeling toward the kc this hunt was held by. I knew the rules going into it. The only kick I have with them is a hunt that has a $300 entry should most definately have non-hunting judges. They are a new kc and they are working hard to have a better set of rules for 2013. The new set of rules I am sure will have an area where a handler can bring a panel back to judge a tree and an area the handler can sign in the gray for situations like this. The current set of rules does not.

Just was an all around bad deal. Most hunts I have been too the last 28 years of comp hunting have had great cast and great people. One of the handlers was young and has won alot. I had respect for him just because of what he had won over the last few years. Now, makes me wonder how he had won some of those cast. It doesn't take long for that kind of stuff to catch up with a handler and his reputation.

The first time I ever comp hunted I had a real young dog and never expected to win or even place but, I figured it would be fun to simply be a part of it.
When we turned loose my dog followed the others but came back and the clock was started, no big deal as this was kind of expected since he was so young. During this time another cast member was bragging about all his accomplishments including his dog being in the world points. Upon the first strike the young hunter called his dog, only problem was he called the wrong dog. Even I could tell it wasn't his, the handler of the dog that actually struck corrected him. He did this 2 more times on the same cast. Once the clock was up (to the second) he made quite a show about the fact that my dog was being scratched. I took it in stride but, got to thinking about something I had read in the rules. When I politely mentioned the fact that his dog also would have to be scratched for him making the wrong call (more than was necessary for the scratch) he acted like I had shot him in the gut and tried to argue. Luckily the group had in it a seasoned comp hunter who agreed and backed me up on the infraction. This fellow got so mad he cursed me and threatened me with all kinds of crap including having me banned for false allegations.

It made me wonder how his dog was in the "world points" and to say this left a bad taste was an understatement.
