Minimum set times will not ever work as intended. The hunting is much different in the regions of the country. While up north, folks patch hunt and love to call time out during the hunt and talk or whatever. Most call it moving, but seldom have I ever moved more than a mile when we do move from an area, but call it a needed thing. In the deep south, you can leave the club house at 8PM and be back before midnite in many cases. Block are large and never call time out. Hunting is different. This is better left alone and up to clubs, unless you want to install a minimum time to be gone from the club, but that doesn't s6op the huddle house hunter does it?
Why punish the people up north? Even if we do " move less than a mile", consider walking to the truck and moving. 20 minutes max, right? Do that 4 times, there is over an hour. If you all came up and hunted, the last thing you'll want to do is hunt the same 100 acre patch all night. And if you have a few that sit around talking, then it is them, not the hunters that need it.
If UKC would set a minimum hours, that does not mean the casts will stay out. Many times we've gone back long before the deadline. My personal club gives 6 hours, even though most never drive over 45 minutes. If the club has a guide that sits around talking and goofing off.... Doesn't the club assign guides just as they assign judges? Then don't allow them to guide. That problem is solved.
I personally set up 6 drops, 4 woods 35-40 minutes from the club and 2 on the way back to the club. I usually guide out of 4 different clubs. If a dog gets lost or way out of pocket, I can stay and help find it, and not leave them alone just so I can make deadline.
