Elite Handlers---

Any one else laughing at these "elite" young guns who if you took their Garmins away would be totally lost??? I have watched enough to see that the good houndmen call their hound by their voice, not looking at a screen that tells you which way it went or when its treed. As one guy said, "handlers were a lot better years ago."

Doesn't bother me-most of em' can probably hear their dogs at the same time they look at the Garmin. It's not replacing anything- judge has to hear what the handler hears. It's fun for me to use my Dogtra with the Google maps and see exactly how the Hound is moving.

Are you sure?

8-A handle just has to tell the judge when dog strikes and trees.

Judge then records it on the card. I have never had a judge say, “wait I didn’t hear it” they just record it on the card. At the tree showing the raccoon is different. And if you can’t find it then the game starts “where might it be?”

Wonder what would happen if the judge was the only one carrying the garmin that would show dog barking and treed?? (Just asking for a friend)

I've seen plenty of times a judge can't hear and won't grant a call. Young boy from SD was in a big hunt last year- his dog got deep and out of hearing..... Regardless what was on his Garmin he wasn't able to score his dog and was essentially out of the competition. Thought it was the world hunt, or something, can't remember off top of my head.

I will say I agree with you in that I've always thought tracking collars should be mandatory and the judge should be the only one holding the receiver- using it to confirm handlers calls. Technology is about to the point if they used Pathfinder systems it could be live fed of the screen for spectators.
