Will be lots of splitting strike points untill folks go to breaking babblers again.

I would like to hope that a true coon dog would beat a true babblin dog anyway. First tree is more than first strike.

The super slam rule fixes the babbling dog question what so ever. After the first 3 minutes of the hunt you gotta strike them on the third bark

Babbling
4 (b) {First offense failure to strike a dog on or before the third bark, after the first minute each time dog(s) is released, will result in those points being minused.}
o Change: After the first three minutes of the hunt; failure to strike a dog on or before the third bark, each time dog is released, will result in those points being minused. Dog(s) determined to be babbling shall be scratched on second offense. Refer to Rule 4 (c) on first offense for babbling.

The undeniable truth is nobody, judges a hound by how many coon they strike, they are judged by how many coon they tree!

Thankfully they are judged by how they strike and tree coons. And if they'd put the rule back the way it was so they could be properly judged a year from now we wouldn't still be beatin this dead horse !!!

Why was the rules changed for the slam series ? Who's doin was that ? For god sakes make the rule the same for all hunts.

Does anybody that hunted in the 80's remember having the problem with dogs babbling like so many whine about now ? No cause before they let em babble for a min on every drop ya either broke em,left em home, or lost. Change the rule back the way it was and they will stop huntin and breedin the babblin idiots.

Dog gets minus babbling so many times by different judges then that dog is barred . If minus the judge must make a note of it on the scorecard and on nite hunt report . Problem solved

Why can't they just move up strike points like they move up tree points on split trees? Problem solved.

The first barkers can get their bark points and the split tree-er can get their deserved points.

If dogs strike A, B, C, D, in that order and A & D end up on one tree and B & C end up on another, move D up to 2nd strike since they struck THAT COON 2nd. Move B & C up to 1st and 2nd since they struck THAT COON 1st and 2nd.

When dogs are determined to be split you move up their tree, so why not move up the strike accordingly? That would reward or punish them for what they did on THAT PARTICULAR TRACK AND TREE.

I think strike points is dumb there are no way to prove what dog found a coon track first a dog could be barking on anything or nothing at all or a dog could open its mouth first on a coon track but might not be the dog that found the track first and I am saying this just for that I have usually always had good strike dogs and had my share of top strikes and I don't think I have ever got bet by a babbling dog and I have been competition hunting for about 30 years I think 50 points for all dogs would be great

Interesting position about strike points. I think I could use that same logic on tree points and ask that they all be the same as well, lol. The first dog to bark on the tree may not necessarily be the first dog to find the tree.

Have you ever been sitting close to a dog working a bad track, and see that dog rear up on a tree checking it, only to see that young gun of a pup come rolling on with its mouth wide open and telling all the world it has found the tree. I have seen this many times and for those that have not , it will be a learning experience. Now when dogs get treed off by them selves then yes you can pretty much figure that dog treed the coon, but when all dogs are working together on a hot track, it's which ever dog that throws the locate first that usually gets called for first tree, not necessarily the dog that actually found the tree first. So If barking is not a very good identifier of first strike, then it should not be used as an identifier of first tree either. Heck we can just watch the garmin and see who's little tree emblem looks up first.

Now that is a great idea. We could just stop listening to the dogs and watch/go by the Garmin. Do away with strike points and whoever's Garmin beeps first gets put down for first tree and whoever's Garmin beeps next gets second and so on. And if the Garmin shows that they leave, they get minused. They wouldn't even have to bark treed. You could have a non-hunting judge that would put all 4 dogs into his handheld.

I would love to see something done to put a stop to people hunting babblers in hunts. I drew 3 dog this year at b&t days that kept the first three strike places open all night. Now this was on the rqe night and all 3 were nitech. Those 3 dog made 9 trees with no plus points. My neck was hurting by the end of the night. My dog also looked stupid that night but he new better that to babble when he was cut loose or tree on all those trees. He acted like he was waiting on all those dogs to get put it their place by their owners. My dog did tree one coon alone but with only 25 strike points it didn't help much.

So your gonna give a silent dog 100 strike points every time it trees a coon ?

Well ... If your trying to tighten em up that would do it lol. I think that's over compensating just a little for mouthy dogs when all ya gotta do is get rid of that min rule.

Seriously does anybody that hunted competition in the 80's remember having issues with dogs babbling ? I doubt it cause they didn't show up til UKC let em babble
On every drop. ImI'm starting to sound like a broken record bit it really is that simple.
