like i said ima newby in this comp. hunt, but if its this bad its sad that the handler wins instead of the hound, im glad i do more pleasure hunting, i guess that was the way i was brought up, always pleasure to be with a good hound and ppl, no matter who showed the meat we always bragged on each others hound, wat happen? the way i would look at it a good hound will always will be rember, but a one of them good [handlers] just another name lol to watch out for! thats the way it looks on here, is it that bad?

It's a real shame that there is no integrity or self worth in most of the younger people and some of the older people!if you have to cheat to win a coon hunt and it makes you feel good about yourself or gives you a sence of worth ,son you are in trouble!!!! Hopefully one day a mans word,name and a hand shake will mean something again!jmo

I also look for every coon that is treed no matter what dog or the person it is. I look at it as the dog earns it not the handler. If the dog beats mine then thats ok Im perfectly fine with that. The coon event is suposed to be for the best dog that night to win. I think hunters has forgot the purpose and ethics of sportsmanship. I learnt from my father and what he instilled in me. I hope we can look back and remember where the sport came from and what its suposed to be.

That happened a long time ago for some. I drew a dog that was being handled by a guy that hunted some for another fellow. Well, long story short, my dog treed. When we got in there, Sam sat down on a log. After the tree was closed for shining, he said" Come here, I want to show you something." Yep, he had spotted the coon when we first walked up there. Guess I should be happy he got beat too. treed in for 2nd about 3 minutes behind mine on the next tree(s) and nearly 4 behind his on the one(s)..it was a split tree and beat both of us.

I cheat. I bend the rules. I cheat.
I've not seen too many people that will hold to the letter of the law.

and really enjoy it. I have thought at times about comp hunting. The reason being is to see some really good dogs...being as I mostly pleasure hunt alone. My drive would be to see some great coon dogs at the hunts. So that being said, I would shine for anyone, simply because I like to see coons in the tree lol! I am a competitive person and always will be, but I would never lower myself to bending rules or not shining just so I could win. In another thread someone said they thought that these "crooked" handlers were mostly fine people before and after the hunt. I can't abide by that. When someone changes their personal honor code depending on the situation they have no moral backbone.

Maybe I will get to meet some of you folks some day. I really enjoy reading the posts from you guys...and you can be sure, I will always be shining the tree...regardless if my dog is there or not.

All the best,

Tim
