Not Player

Yea right, not a player in the hunting world, who cares what they came up with. Just like some people think this forum has magical powers, it's for entertainment purposes . I stop in from time to time , watch people try to snow plow their opinions over others.

I think you answered your own question..........winning isn't about who has the best dog, Winning=Money. Winning gets you pup sales and stud fees. Winning gets you on podcast and picture on magazine covers. So,,,,the folks that want to win do whatever is necessary to win. Silent dogs, babbling dogs, mean dogs, junk runners that fall treed, slick treeing, me-to dogs, and straight line hunters are all out there being promoted by somebody that just wants to win.

You'll never put integrity and honor in the hunts by changing how you score a dog.



Winning is also hard. It takes a lot more good traits in a dog to do it consistently than it does bad, the most important of which is......treeing more raccoons than everything it is up against.

rules are there, use them, the problem that i see is not a rule issue its a comunication issue or lack there of, there was a comp hunt going around of two handlers about to come to blows cussing each other, when the rules were right there in the judges hand, use them!!! when you cut loose dogs strikes off the lead then shuts up and opens a mile away just say what you think happened nicely, an if your judging enforce it next time or ask for it to be enforced, its a compitision, an as long as we live in a fallen world there will be people that will not do whats rite, just a fact, but what gets me is the rules are on the ones that want to do rite, side, use them, an keep your emotions out of the discussion.

If I’m competing in a hunt, I could care less if the leave barking or not. That strike is irrelevant if they tree coons. I just don’t want my dog penalized on a strike if it trees its own Coon. Believe it or not, there are more coons than just one in the woods and they leave different tracts.

Make the strike the same and get to treeing coons. We can hunt an hour, 2 hours, or all night. Just score them trees.

Strike dogs

I have a tight mouth dog always striking for 25. I’ve got a good strike dog usually striking for 75 or 100. That good strike dog makes my life a lot easier.

No dog can be struck inside the first minute unless immediately followed by a tree call. All dogs barking at the end of the minute go in for only 50 points.

This means an honest strike dog competing against some ghost barkers would only be 25 behind on potential points instead of up to 75 behind.

The biggest problem with the babbling rules is enforcing them. Once a dog gets in the timber and is struck it’s hard to prove if they are still ghost barking, running junk, running other dogs or running a coon. Even if they shut up for an extended period of time and get deep how does a judge know that the dog didn’t hole up and get on through the country and strike another track. It is a great thing to have arguments over so AKC came up with what I feel is the best solution on a problem that has existed for years.

All you have to do is tree more coon than they do which is the goal anyhow. If you and your dog don’t make any mistakes and are alone with more coon than the barker you win.

Jerry Moll came up with the AKC strike rules when he worked there. They were fair and worked well.

IEP's

With my wife being a teacher, I can put an educational perspective to this.

Education: Class of 4 students. 1 is gifted and exceptional. The other 3 are special ed (and have IEPs). The gifted student gets things done quickly and right, and get an A. The IEP (Special Ed) students are a little slower, so get extra time, open books, and teacher aides. This eventually results in them also getting the right answers. They too get A's.

Competition Hunting: Cast of 4. 1 is gifted and exceptional. The other 3 are on the slow side (Special Ed/IEP's). The gifted/exceptional dog gets treed quickly with the coon, and gets 125 tree points. The IEP (Special Ed) dogs are a little slower, so get extra time. This eventually results in them also treeing a coon. So, they too get 125 tree points.

I prefer the gifted and exceptional dog myself.

Or if you are really serious about it bar the handler if he/she enters a babbling dog in a hunt. After all the handler is attempting to cheat.

Now there is the solution. How serious are y'all?

If the judges are too weak to minus dogs for babbling, what makes you think these same weak judges are going to scratch these dogs?? The problem is simply, the judges!! If I’m judging, and a dog is struck on a babble, I’ll minus the dog in a heartbeat! If the handler don’t agree, he can question it, and ask for a vote!

The problem is right there, figuring out whether a dog is babbling based on limited exposure to said dog. I've hunted 50 years and I have a female right now that I can't figure out when she is tracking and when she is loose mouthing. IF she gets her coon treeing down she will be a handful in a competition hunt but right now with all that running of the mouth she sure isn't that fun to pleasure hunt. I have another female that I know isn't babbling but a person sure wouldn't think that she wasn't on some nights when coon have been on the ground and she strikes tracks right at your feet that other dogs can't even smell.

AKC has the right rule, or at least close to the right rule, to at least take a lot of the guess work out of it. I think it should be dogs barking in the last 10 or 15 seconds as a dog could easily shut up for 5 seconds on a track.

A. Strike Points
1. One set of strike points as follows: 100 points
for dog declared struck first; 75 points second;
50 points third and 25 points fourth. All dogs
must be loose and competing in order for first
strike of 100 points to be awarded. If dog(s) are
re-struck after being scored plus, minus, circle
or deleted they may only be struck back in for
25 points unless all dogs are competing for 100
strike points.

2. One (1) minute time to be kept each time dog(s)
are released. No dog to receive strike points
during that minute unless immediately followed
by a tree call. Fifty (50) strike points will be
recorded for dog(s) barking within the last five
seconds of the minute. Remaining dogs, when
struck receive 25 points. This rule will only be
in effect when all dogs are loose and competing
for 100 strike points. The judge will count aloud
the last five seconds of the minute and announce,
“minute is up,” and will indicate which dogs are
struck and recorded for 50 strike points if any.

I guess my concern isn’t the one that opens under the minute a few times and gets struck but doesn’t carry a track out, that one u can usually get a minus vote. The ones that are hard to judge and get minused are the ones that leave barking and really never shut up. How can anyone minus a dog that leaves barking and is still barking minutes later at 500 yards and the other honest mouth dogs haven’t opened? Maybe a second dog opens a time or two at 90 seconds out 200 or so and gets struck , now I’m working with 50 or even 25 for a “honest first strike”. Treeing the extra coon isn’t a problem sometimes, but often times it’s just not a reality.

Sonny, there use to be a guy here close to the house that hunted an English female that barked in the truck, on the lead and every breath the second you cut her loose. It was obvious to me she was babbling nearly every time you’d cut her. The way to handle a dog like that, is to go ahead and minus her!! If the handler wants to question it, and call it to a cast vote, let him. Odds are, once you’ve opened the gate, the rest of the cast will slam it shut with a minus vote. People usually won’t say much until after somebody else does!! Me personally, I’ll minus one in a heartbeat, I’m there to compete, not make friends.

I follow what you’re saying and 10-15 years ago it seemed to work the way u described. I’ve not had luck getting support on a vote for it now days. I’m not sure why and maybe it was just the group I was in on the 2 times I pushed for it. Maybe next time it’ll work. It most generally isn’t an issue in the local hunts I have attended tho , for the most part the dogs aren’t bad babblers around the area I live and hunt.
