No, I think you left out the part I was talking about...

"I will be back in a minute then a lot of times the handler with the bad dog would withdraw"

If you fire a warning shot...tell him you are now seriously going to try and catch his dog and write him up for fighting.....then allow him to withdraw BEFORE you can catch him, that in part is letting him get away with it.

I have done something similar, at the beginning of the hunt if someone asks "does your dog run deer??" I usually say yep, smoke 'em, and have had guys withdraw their trashy dogs. Then go on and have a good hunt. I believe there is a point with a mean dog where, just as you say, at the clubhouse if the judge tells everyone he will not play with any mean dogs, they are going to be out and out fast, a handler withdraws before the hunt starts then it is O.K. That handler decided not to cut loose a dog that might hurt someone else's dog. It is not O.K. to go ahead and enter, turn loose and try it....my point is, why make it so they can do just that????

With the way it is now days a lot has changed they don't think there is nothing wrong with dogs getting into it at the tree so if you go into the tree by yourself and scratch the aggressor ( if your a good judge you should) then you know what's next your in for about an hour or more of drama so if they withdraw its almost a blessing lol!!!!

ok guys i just want to reitterate a few things, we were scaling down a highwall, i was in the middle of everyone to keep a maintainable pace, we were 200 yards from the tree and it was over as quick as it started. sorry if this is bad judging, but if ppl want to complain about it, then they should start volunteering, i would rather be able to justify a decision on the spot from the scorecard than i would have to say oh its in the advisor at the house

Some dogs that have never had a problem in they're life the first time they get together they have problems people are the same way but we're the difference is when it happens the handler is truly sorry and try's to apologize for it happening or the old boy that gives you that gives you that big smirk and says I won't have one that don't stay or say I didn't hear or see nothing !!!
