Tar, now you are talking a different thing, all dogs aren't coon dogs, some could not get a high score if you turned coons loose for them. I am talking about dogs that can and do tree coons when the coons are there to tree. How many times does a good dog get drawn out with crappy dogs and has no real competition. It's easy for a good dog to run up a score when the competition sucks. That fact is the reason why a high score in one cast means nothing, winning multiply casts a dog will have to hunt against some just as good as they are. The bigger the hunt and the further you advance the better the competition will become. Until we have a cast winner elimination format for all the major hunts, we do not have a hunt Winner only a high score dog. How good was the competition in the cast that dog was in? How crazy is it to base anything on a one cast deal? Club hunts are the place for a single cast format, the major hunts deserve a real winner. How many guys travel hundreds of miles to hunt these major hunts only to get shafted on the location they hunt? A cast winner elimination format would level the playing field and give everyone a fair chance at winning the hunt. Dave
This is a huge reason I and many other guys don't hunt UKC hunts. Now if the new world hunt is set up as a true elimination style hunt, you'll see way more dogs show up. I've never agreed with the format ukc has, so I never hunted in their hunts. Its simple really, don't like this registry hunt the others, which is what I've done. But I don't understand why there's so many guys that can't see what you and I have been saying for years. Its always been about the draw of the guides in UKC, and will still be at bigger hunts in the foreseeable future.
