It seems as though everyone is responding to this except for the individuals in the thread title. I would really like some input on this from Allen or Todd. Is there anything that we can do to make sure this doesn't happen on a regular basis? All of the input on here is great but I still don't see a solution to the issue. If we as judges give a little speach about making sure all electronic locating devices are off when we start the cast then who is going to enforce this while the cast is in the woods and the spectators are sitting at the truck? Those of you who do not see an advantage to using a locating device during time in need to look a little deeper.

Bullet, my apologies for the late response. I was out of the office since last Wednsday.

Rule 20 is very specific in what the consequences are for "any" individual caught using a locating device during hunting time. This means a handler, spectator or otherwise. Simply put; it's a barring offense should anyone get caught using a locating device during hunting time.

Can an individual (spectator) look at the mapping system of a GPS System that is turned at the truck during hunting time? Heck no. That would be considered "using".

I know what the rule states but my question is how do we govern a situation like this? All cast members are in the woods. You can't appoint one of the spectators as a monitor since they don't have any authority in the cast. You can't really scratch or bar someone because one spectator said another spectator did something wrong. Is there a possibility that there could be a rule implemented that would require the spectators to remain with the cast? I see some real problems arising here if something is not implemented to govern this type of situation.

Yes I have. It is all done by the honor system for the most part. But when folks don't think the rules apply to them what good is an honor system? That is why we don't just send dogs and handlers out on a 1 dog cast without a non-hunting judge. Those folks on here that are not taking this post seriously evidently haven't hunted in very many hunts or maybe they are some of the ones that don't want to see rules enforced for a reason that may hamper them from winning.

Bullet please tell me how it would help me, It wouldn't make a dog faster or any better,Yes I agree that if its a rule its a rule bottm line but how about choosing you battles. how did it help the guy beat you, or is it he did something but plain beat you.

Prime example:

Cutting in the middle of fields ALL night. 1 dog in the cast has not shut its mouth the ENTIRE night. Taking 100 strike all night. CANNOT prove there is no track evident because the dog is dog tracking and is just falling in behind the other dogs' HONEST strike.

Its impossible to minus the dog, because by the time the minute is up, the dogs are already in the woods and the babbler is immediately struck. A dog that does not shut its mouth the entire night in an area with DECENT coon is literally impossible to get 100 strike on.

Mix in a me tooer and that idiot is right in the mix of things.

Maybe move the minute rule up to 15 or even 30 seconds?

You would not have a leg to stand on even if you did file a complaint.Like you said.Its one spectator against another..Post a poll and see how many on here want to do away with spectators or make them walk with casts.I dont see this being a big problem and I've hunted a good many hunts.It dont bother me.I'm more worried about my dog putting a whipping on the other dogs.Aint no way somebody looking at a garmin is going to change that.

So I guess if one rule is OK to overlook then just overlook another then another then another. Pretty soon we are just totally ignoring the rules and making titles on dogs that are worthless.

I don't think anyone here is saying to ignore it but having a hissy over this it isn't worth it, Bring it up next time it happens in the field and tell the others , Please do not use you tracking systems unless in a time out and you need too, Every person that I have hunted with would respect that, And not use them, And just mention it to the Judge, and if still happens, file a formal complaint, I myself would never say a word, I don't even own a tracking system, don't need one,

your right a rule is the law, no doubt its there for a reason. there are so many better more efficient ways for people to cheat, that tracker thing is WAY down the list that im concerned about. actually people using trackers to cheat isn't even on my list.

but it is a rule, so if im judging i will enforce it.

We now know why the numbers at the hunts are so low. The tracker at the truck, in no way, gave the guide an unfair advantage. If people worried more on getting their hounds ready for a hunt instead of figuring out ways to scratch people the numbers in the hunts will go up.

I don't really know, but i can say there are fewer coonhunters in my area than there was 10 or 15 years ago. personally i can see what turns people away from comp hunts. the win at any cost attitude is ugly and takes alot of fun out of nite hunts.
