Ill give my 2 cents worth on this count down on the tree rule. If you make a count down on the tree. The average guy with a average dog that still supports every club in the US is done hunting in the hunts. I have no worry of hunting against this type of dog but I do worry about loosing another supporting member of my Club!!!!!!! So quit your crying and wining about this back packing dog and his handler who just wants to bring home a peace of paper once or twice a year.

IT AL ENDS UP BEING A MATTER OF AN OPINION!!

HERE IS A TRUE STORY..........
At a world zone hunt semi final,a cast member that was known for keeping top hounds and had placed high in PKC and UKC world hunts cut loose .His dog struck immediately and after a few minutes other dogs got struck in also. A tree was made and new ground was found.
Second turn out once again this cast member immediately struck his dog.
No other dog was saying a word.At this point the hunting judge declared he was going to minus the mans dog for babbling. All the cast members whom had no dogs opening yet agreed .
The guy protested stating his dog had a good nose and was a quick strike dog to no avail.
He immediately re-struck his dog in for 100. No other dogs were still opening yet.
The dog went about 200 yards total from turn out to tree.100 after getting minus and re-struck.Other dogs got struck in just before the tree and a coon was scored.
I absolutely believe this man was ROBBED!!
When hunting this caliber of hunt and dogs 100 points is hard to make up and yes he lost the cast.

Best response yet!!! A simple piece of of paper that means nothing at all!!! Thank goodness some of the rules didn't change because half of these guys would have to invest in some new power lol.
