Guys we have created a monster. Here is whats happening at the hunts. We have our 4-20 dogs hunts that the only benefit is trying to make night champion or grand night out of dogs that are not of the best caliber. Most of the times these hunts are closer to 10 dogs than 20. You have judges trying to scratch handlers for the slightest mistake they make when it means nothing to the outcome of the hunt but they can apply some rule to it so it happens. Then we come on here and bash the one or two guys that know the rules when they try to help. They are JiM, Joey and Rip. Couple others or better good also.
Now we have pressured UKC into doing play by plays and posting up to the minute information of the larger hunts. Yes other kennel clubs do it. But they have a panel in the woods and there are a few judges or a guide that is sent with handlers on split trees. Handing split trees in major hunts is done completely different than in a 4 dog hunt as far as who goes where.
Allen is only ONE MAN and he does an outstanding job for UKC with yesterdays rules.
Like I said in an earlier post. Guys that hunt major hunts have melted the rules together and it works fine until we want to split hairs. Quit splitting hairs and get a coondog.
This board is so far from the reality of what goes on in a hunt and that its painful to see.
PKC can put 300 dogs a night in the woods early and the cast winners late for 4 nights. Then trim that down on the weekend and have very few problems. They put the cast breakdown and the scores of each cast early and winners late. If you want to complain go over there and they will send you packing.
Not comparing the two but UKC does the best it can. I think we should give them a break and some respect. A lot of new hunters cut their teeth on UKC hunts every year. We all talk about how the youth is important. Lets show it and support what UKC does without picking everything apart.
When you introduced the other KC you compared the 2 whether you wanted to or not.
