If a dog that backs another dog is so bad, why don't we just scratch any dog that backs another dog? Maybe that will be the next rule change in 2021.
And to get rid of the babbling dogs we could scratch any dog that opened on track.

Hey if the dog can't handle tracks and isn't quick just make him a 100% dead loaner. No competition, nothing to worry about he will win his share even if he can't run a track.

It works.

Maybe they just need to be taught to cover quicker like at 1:59. LOL

Kash fell asleep while we were hunting so I did some math for you Richard.
A dog that runs at 1 mph will cover 1,760 yards in 1 hour, 29.3 in a minute, 87. 9 in 3 minutes. Many dogs run at double digit speeds on average but for the sake of argument let's keep it at a slower pace. A dog running at 7 mph will go 615.3 yards in 3 minutes. If a dog is going 7 mph slower and 615.3 yards and 3 minutes behind the leader of the pack how many points should he receive for treeing with the 1st dog there?

If you think that it is okay to have a dog come in to a tree that a dog has already been treed on for 3 minutes your opinion is not valid on anything related to competition coon hunting rules.

I can't wait to hear how you can walk 15 minutes out on the leash with 2 dogs treed and 1 on track at a AO and it's A ok?

And so it begins. Took longer than I figured for the bashing of Dalton and Shack to start. People need to grow up not everyone deserves a trophy

Very good family. Have known them for years. Don’t understand why people can’t just be happy for others. And not start drama

Why would Dalton recut he was going to win without treeing another one it was his best option and a good handling move. If you don't understand that then you don't understand the current rule structure. I would also say it remains to be seen if recuts next year will be an option or if they will be mandatory.

There you go Mr Run, there is your answer.

Jen, in my country, no dog trails in double digits. They do good to go 3-4 mph unless they are running a deer or bear. And don't believe everything your Garmin tells you. Get in a four wheeler and try to drive through the woods at 10 mph the next time that you are just sitting there figuring. Then just imagine a dog going that fast and working a track at the same time.
But I am on your side now. If a dog backs another dog at any time they should just be scratched. I know that the Rules committee gave them 3 minutes this year but since dogs can't tell time or don't carry a stopwatch, it might as well be 1 minute. As has been pointed out by others, everyone will now just have to break their dogs from backing period. Apparantly, that is what the majority wants to see. Either get/train an independent to a fault dog (sorry, I just can't quit calling it a fault) or quit comp hunting. I guess that we all have until Jan 1st to decide which it will be.

I think that 3 minutes is OK, but a graduated countdown like they have in PKC is better. If you read what I have posted, you would see that my problem is "assigning" tree points and then minusing them and the strike points. Several of my dogs don't like to tree with another dog that beats them to a tree. They will look all around and finally back the other dog. While I would prefer they tree first and about half of the time they do, I don't have a problem with them eventually backing the other dog. In my area, there is usually only one coon to tree and they can't just go on and find another one. Only getting 0 or 25 tree points won't put them completely out of the hunt but getting 75-50 and their strike minused will.

If they ain't there within three mins they need minused but I'm not sure about -75. If all they get at 2:59 is 25 don't seem right to give them 75 at 3:01.

I'm with Richard on this. Count down is fine 3 min is fine. Think both was needed rules. But I dont like minus dog that cover after 3 min both ways for 2 reasons. 1 a dog that is treed and recut has to be real broke not to cover another dig treed close and I think a man shouldnt have break his dog not cover if he chooses. Makes pleasure hunt same dog you comp hunt harder for older people and kids. After all if your dog treed for 125 and dog cover and get 25 minus that giving you minimum 150 over covering dog. Second reason is lots young guys just starting out dont have dog skills train dog not cover or even have another dog to train there's with not cover. Lots young guys goin get discouraged when they eat big chunk of minus all time.

Here what I believe rule should be anything covers on dead tree coon, slick or circle delete strike give them 25 minus simple easy and seems more fair.

I look at it different I guess. If my dog is on a separate coon than the other dogs it should go on and tree it no matter what they are doing. If my dog is on the same coon as the others I promise you if my dog ain’t in front it’s going to be right behind and crowding the one that is.



That’s just plain old high caliber competition. You wanna race get a race car.

Here is another scenario. Say Dog A is treed and scored, then recast after Dog B is treed thru the country. Dog A is struck back in for next available on a different track but drops that track and gets to Dog B's tree before the cast gets there. Currently Dog A would have a line under it's strike and it would not become live to minus it's strike points. Now Dog A will at least get minus points on the tree at next available (or 25 depending on how UKC words it and interprets it).

Tarbaby, can you drive a race car on the street?
It looks like I only have 3 more months to comp hunt and then I might as well quit and just pleasure hunt.
