The thing I hate most is to hear the younger bunch say we don't have big enough spots to hunt two hours we hunted 3 hrs in the same spots they can't hunt 2 hrs in why? Because these dogs of today are running each other's backsides in a strait line all the way through it !! If your dog is all the way through a 1 mile section in 15 minutes they ain't hunting it !!! And the right guy with the right dog will prove it to them with a very embarrassing loss !!!!

I am a coon hunter and I can't guide a cast for 2 hrs all by myself. There are several hunters that hunt the same spots as I do. And I ask myself all of the time, "why do I own a coondog"? I hunt 4-5 nights a week. But I hunt the same old spots every night. Sometimes when I pull up to a spot, there is already another coonhunter sitting there. A lot of the spots that I hunt, a lot of people won't turn their dog loose there. Some of the spots that I hunt, you can only turn one or two dogs loose there. I guess that if you haven't been there or seen it then you can't grasp what it is like. Hunters that live up North just can't imagine what it is like to hunt where I live.

Who votes on shortening hunt times? Can ukc just implement it? We need to have the option of 90min.

I can only take it for a week or two now and then I have to hit the road. I used to do it every night here when I was younger but I am not as unstable since I have gotten older. When I was younger, I ran/drove around like a crazy man and just turned loose anywhere. I figured that it was easier to beg for forgiveness than permission. And I did a lot of begging and learned to say, "I am so sorry" very convincingly. But you can't do that when you are in a comp hunt. Last night I turned Boone loose at 9 pm and he got treed at 10 pm. According to the Garmin he had traveled 1.7 miles at 1.7 mph. Is that considered booticking? Is he ready for Greencastle?
