I have no doubt that in some areas it may be worse than others at the small weekday hunts, but if you think you can win many casts with minus or circle where it counts, you would be mistaken. It takes a coon dog that has the groceries to win on the big stage period.
There have always been tree monsters in both registries. In one you minus slick trees in the other you vote to circle it until you finally talk the cast into plussing a spider eye so "at least someone will have plus point and we will have a winner."
I have ALWAYS said that one little bitty coon for 125+ beats 1500 circle points and obviously beats minus points. So if everyone that continues to beat that dead horse (win with minus in pkc) has a dog that will tree just one coon per casts, they should be able to go get rich hunting in the pkc hunts.
Autumn Oaks winner and World Hunt winner this year are hunted mostly in what registry?
I'm not saying one registry is better than the other. Hunt what you like. I hunt in both. But if you think the bigger hunts in either are won by slick treeing dogs, you need to get out and enter some. The guys that are hauling dogs up and down the road are mostly packing coon treers.
I think a lot of this perception is passed down from older hunters that are die hard ukc guys. The same goes for passing down bad information on stud dogs. I knew one a few months ago was telling anyone that would listen that one dog was not worth breeding to. Throws pups with sorry mouths. He himself won't stay treed. Just not worthy of breeding to. Do your homework he said! Several months later he breeds to the above mentioned dog... Now what do you believe?
Not everything that comes out of an old timers mouth is the truth... Something to think on!
I could absolutely care less if a dog has an all grand pedigree, but breeding sub par females is not the way to get better. It may work out a few times, but at some point it is going to show back up in the gene pool in an unfavorable way. In the end, it is conversation and time wasted. People are going to continue to breed females that probably shouldn't be bred because they own them and it is a convenient way to get pups. Some are even bred to really nice stud dogs in the hope that super stud will cover up the female's faults. If the pups don't turn out, guess who gets blamed?
If we REALLY want to help the Bluetick breed, we should try to figure out how to cull out the ones that boodle a track around half the night.
Dang Ritchie, that all makes too much sense! I don’t think we should listen or do any of that 😂😂
