No Mike I didnt I had a great cast, but I sat there while two questions came in and during both questions the only person that seen these dogs do wrong was the judge. All the other handlers were rite there. The thing that got me about these scratch offenses that were questioned is that both of these dogs were big winners and had a chance to win this hunt. UKC knows all about both questions and although I'm not the best of friends with these guys I respect there dogs and them. I also heard of several other handlers having problems with Judges. Now with this being said I had a great Thursday cast.

I was very lucky to have GREAT judging all the way threw...hasn't allways been the case but this year it was great...

UKC paid the judge in question to be there from Kentucky I believe and put them up in a pretty nice motel...that's all I no about the possum judge..

Might be a stupid question. But I'm curious about cast #2 on Friday night. What did the 3 dogs get scratched for?

It not all UKC We the hunters make the rule upgrades get after your breed pres. and lets make thing like this right. Quit tring to catch up with the tree count down, babbling, 7min. shine time, let put a rule in place that will for sure make the UKC hunts fare and honest.

Hahahahahaha. Well it happens. I just found it odd that all three were scratched is all. Doesn't seem to happen very often. But you win some you loose some.

A good buddy told me this and it will still apply

A dog isn't god same letters just spelled different.

Should have had judge of cast #4, he would have found the coon. Then we would have had a different final four.
