I'm one of the old guys to and I'm not blaming anyone I just think that's a rule with a lot of gray area. your also right about fixing the problem but most of the handlers I've hunted with will tell the judge at the beginning of the hunt my dog might meet me off the tree but will go back.

UKC rules leave a lot of room for common sense or personal opinion to come into play. They leave a lot of room for judgement calls. Most people call them "grey areas". But the whole cast gets to give their opinion and vote. It isn't a perfect system but it works in the majority of circumstances. The rules give us a framework but they also give us a lot of leeway or "grey areas". Do you really want UKC, our governing body, to tell us every little move that we should make? Or do you think that "the government" should give us a little credit for knowing what we are doing? Of course, there are a few that will try to take advantage of any laws or rules but do we really need more rules/laws for everybody just because of those few? Or should we each just step up, do the right thing and police ourselves. Should everyone have to give up their AR just because one or two idiots used theirs in a shooting?

To your first two questions. I’m wrong more than I’m right but I don’t think canopy and umbrella are in ukc rules. The big question I see in dog meeting you off tree is how far. Judgement call and we all know how those can go. I think most know when their dog is trying to trail off a tree if they will be honest. I may be wrong again but I think ukc said it didn’t matter where a dog had it’s nose going back to tree.
