Re: Hunt Question??
quote: Originally posted by Crooked Branch
In a 3 dog cast. Dog A,B and,C are all struck in. Dogs go out of hearing and according to the garmin map they are heading for a road. Time out is called due to the dogs being in danger. After we drive around to the area the dogs were last seen on the garmin they are all treed on different trees several hundred yards apart. The dogs were never declared treed because time out was called so we could get to them before they hit the road. We went to all dogs tree to get them while we were in timeout. The strike points were deleted and no tree points awarded. All 3 had a coon. Was this the correct way to handle this?
This is how I always handled it. If we drove around and they were not actually in danger then call time back in and continue hunting. I always gave a minute or so before calling time back in so we could be sure all dogs were safe and there was no true danger, kinda to get the bearings. If they are all treed we split the tree points, if not just call time back in and continue hunting. You called time out for a legitimate reason. You thought the dogs were in danger. They were not. Nothing says you can't call time back in again if no dogs have been messed with provided the cast agrees that they are not in danger.
Don't do that too much tough or UKC will consider it hunting from a vehicle. That was stated in an advisor long ago.
