Sounds good. I had truly rather it be dark till daylight coon seen plus,coon not seen,minus. No circle trees.
3 hour cast no big deal. We spend 3.5 hours on a 2 hour cast by time everyone rounded up, then as Josh said,back to clubhouse for late round. 3 hours is not a big deal at all. The amount of time a cast is held really doesn't affect the dog in my opinion. Only the legs of the hunter.
Yeah, 3 hours gives more time for mistakes and more time for a dog to catch a lucky break but I would be willing to bet the dog ahead at 1.5 hours into cast would win majority just like normally the dog ahead at 1 hour in a 2 hour cast usually wins.
It takes a good dog and luck to win consistently.
Most hunts are won or lost first 30 minutes of cast. A lot of nervous handlers that strike on first bark knowing its a bad night or rough spot,tree on a locate coming off a terrible track just to be first. Very few listen to the dog and know what that dog is doing. Most just want to be 1st and 1st so bad they gamble when they shouldn't and ain't listening when they should be.
Just my opinion.
