I usually go to the tree after the hunt is over weather or not I'm the judge. To me it is a courtesy to the other handlers. I'm sure that there are many others like me.
If I go to a tree I look because I love to see a coon in the tree.I hunt dogs that I expect to see a coon over.

OK I will ask this stupid question and see what answers I get. Ok we are all on a NTCH cast and I win the cast. The deadline is at 3 and we finish at 12 and I have time to get to the club house and I have a friend along on the cast. We all decide to turn loose at a feeder just for the fun of it right cause if the dogs take too long I can just leave my friend to get the dog. Me the judge turn loose. They go to a feeder and tree we walk there and guess what a grinner.......am I scratched? and if I am scratched what about the guy that was in second that went home? So if I am behind in a hunt it would be a good idea to go to everyone's tree that treed after the time is up because that might put me ahead of them right?

And yet about half of you say you wouldn't scratch a dog hunting under ntch rules for treeing a possum after the hunt is over. This may be the best explaination yet for why we see so much bitch'in about hunts today. They know the rules, they just can't see fit to follow them.

i havent been on a whole lot of casts but everyone i have been on either hunting or quiding we always check the card and sign it as soon as time is up,
once the card is signed the judges authority should end as i have seen quite a few cases where someone other than the judge turns the card into the moh.
is turning the card in by other than the judge a violation of the rules

Russel, that situation is easily explained by following the rules again. You are allowed 10 minutes to look for a coon. Even if you find a possum in that first minute, you can still score plus points on that tree if you find a coon because you cannot scratch (ntch) or minus(reg.) if a possum and coon are found in the same tree. That tree would be plussed. Because the cast was shot at, they couldn't complete the scoreing of the tree, therefor it was deleted. This was a youth cast with all kids under 13 years old. Would you have them just duck and score with shots being fired so they could complete the scoring of the tree? They didn't. They deleted and got their dogs out. And the rules backed up what they did.

Well, since you can be scratched on a tree after hunt time is out, then i wish the scorecard could be left open too! LOL Im sure you all know the feeling. Been dry holed all night, and your dog finally gets a track gwts hot on it, only to tree after hunt time is out.

Yes, the dog is scratched per Rule 6(k).

Rule 6(k) In Nite Champion and Grand Nite Champion casts, dog is scratched for running, treeing or molesting off game during the authority of the Judge.

Although the hunt time has expired, the kicker is; "during the authority of the judge". Rule 6 (k) states that dogs (NITE & Grands) will be scratched for treeing offgame during the authority of the judge.

Next question. What time period is considered to be "during the authority of the judge"?

A: Rule 1 - (last two sentences) Authority of the Judge begins when he is officially designated and receives the scorecard. The authority of the Judge ceases when the scorecard is turned in to the Master of Hounds.

These are the rules that apply in situations as given by twister regardless of individual opinions.

before you argrue something guys. This is one of the problems you run into in the cast where people think your trying to cheat them. As Allen said dogs will be scratch during or after for treeing a oppussum if caught.

I will repeat this one more time then I'm done with it because I know when I'm talking to a brick wall that can't learn or doesn't want to learn. Dogs that arrive at a tree AFTER THE JUDGE are not considered to be treed. That is why you can't scratch a dog for treeing a possum if the dog come to the tree after the judge. A dog that runs, trees or molests off game is minused or scratched and a dog that comes in after the judge has done none of the three. Get it? No, you don't and prolly never will. So just go ahead and scratch the dog. This is UKC, you do what you think is right, not what the rules says.

Still have an issue with that one huh John? lol! Well........I guess we don't always have to agree on what's right or what's wrong. The main thing is to score things as they should be according to UKC's rules, policies and procedures during a UKC hunt. In this case, anytime dogs come into a tree "after the judge arrives" (during hunt time or otherwise) Rule 5 (b) would apply to those dogs. Which...........rule 5(b) states that dogs coming into tree will recieve minus strike points (during hunt time only) if coon is seen. Otherwise, you simply circle their strike points. Yes, even if there is a grinner in the tree.

Maybe it's one that should be addressed with your Breed Association for discussion and possibly a change in the future? Until that happens you need to apply 5 (b) and score as suggested above. Goes for you too, John! lol!

"A: Rule 1 - (last two sentences) Authority of the Judge begins when he is officially designated and receives the scorecard. The authority of the Judge ceases when the scorecard is turned in to the Master of Hounds. "

This is where the problem accurs.How many times have you seen a judge after hunttme has expired finish the card and hands it to someone else and says"you take this back,Im going home.?

I never said in this post that I disagreed with the rules.(may question afew)But there needs to be some consisity in procedures for judges.In my opinion you must be required to hand the card back in and in NtCh and Gr cast go to EVERY tree regardless of wiether hunt time is up or not.If these procedures are not followed,scratch the whole cast.

There is no rule that requires the judge to return the card. In fact, the rules state the card can be handed off to any cast member if the judge quits the cast. What diff does it make who returns the card. The rules allow anyone to return the card and why shouldn't it? There is nothing requireing the judge or anyone to go to any tree after the hunt is over UNLESS the dog was declared treed before the hunt ended. I can't think of this situation ever coming up in hunt that I have been in , I don't doubt it has happened but I'd say it is far from common. It makes for a great disscussion as can be seen by the number of pages this thread has covered already but it prolly will get alot more milage out of this message board than it will ever get in the woods.
