Allen, there is no such rule to support what you are saying. It appears to me you are saying we apply half of rule 4-k, the strike half but not the tree half. That's a new one on me.
I can only find two rules that could be applied to this situation described in the first post on this thread. One is 4-f which covers a dog at a closed tree but not declared treed......and the other is 4-k which covers a dog treeing but not declared treed when the judge arrives.
It seems to me the only thing we need to know here is whether or not a dog not barking is to be judged as treeing when that dog is at the tree when the judge arrives. If that dog is judged as a treed dog based on the fact that it is at the tree when the judge arrives, barking or not, then we would have to apply 4-k, every bit if it.
If the dog is only judged as a treed dog if it is actually tree barking, then in this instance we would have to apply 4-f and circle the strike because no coon is seen.
Brujan's original question is very easy to answer once we know if his dog is to be judged as a treed dog or not. That is what needs to be answered here.
