rule7
If dog is not working as part of cast and is holding first strike or second strike etc, all strike points will be open to other dogs after coons have been treed in 2 seperate trees, or 1 hr of hunting time has elapsed.



this rule, imo, needed to be changed when the leashlock option was implemented. The way it is now, dogs can be struck in over dogs that dont meet the requirements of a nonworking dog.
I dont believe this rule ever intended for a dog to be struck in over another dog unless all dogs trailing were considered non working dogs.

If you agree, I would like to know what you think of just adding another sentence to rule 7 like: no dog shall be struck in over a dog that is not considered a non working dog as outlined in rule 7.

Or, should we just do away with rule 7 completely?

Or, should we do away with next available and always strike back in for 25?


OPINIONS WANTED.

I brought it up a few months ago and didn't seen to get much responce and the little I did get didn't agree with me. lol (nothing new there lol )

Anyway , I believe in keeping it simple... I'd do away with rule 7 and ALWAYS strike in for next available position. That keeps it simple for a judge to score in all circumstances.

I know some people will say its not fair for a dog to carry first strike all night , but the way I look at it is ,,, if he is carrying strike and not getting treed , he ain't hurting me if we're treeing coons all around him and scoreing them.

I'd bet most judges don't even know how to apply rule 7 in the correct manner anyway. Plus the way it is written up now , the first dog that trees a coon is punished compared to the second dog that trees a coon. It is screwed up in my opinion and badly needs changed and simplified.

The circumstances are rare that cause rule 7 to be used anyway , so I say trash it. I only saw it happen two times all last summer in hunts and both times it was unfair to the dog that treed first. That needs fixed IMO.

The leash lock option implemented now is just that.... an option to be exercised at the handlers descrection.
I personally like going back in for 100 strike pts. on the non-working dog(s) or others dog(s) trailing after the two coons have been scored or 1 hr. hunt time has expired which ever occurs first.The way I understand the leashlock option it starts every time a dog(s) are scored and there are trailers out.I like the reset of the strike pts for the hustling dog(s) after the requirements have been meet to do so..

"If you agree, I would like to know what you think of just adding another sentence to rule 7 like: no dog shall be struck in over a dog that is not considered a non working dog as outlined in rule 7."

In this (e.g.) Marv. that dog had the opportunity to get treed w/ the dog(s) that have been scored on two trees or 1 hr.The dog(s) choose not to for whatever reason.

If two coons have been scored or 1 hr has elapsed how do you justify that the other dog(s) are not working as part of the cast that the dog(s) have been scored on?
I don't thing it needs fixin. It ain't broke.IMO

Dogwhisper,,, the problem arises when the dog that treed first gets cut back for next available , BUT the second dog that trees get cut back for 100 under the current rule... That is punishing the dog that trees the first coon ..... Thats not rewarding the '' hustling'' dog..

Thats true and in that case it would be 25. Most cast never experiance the non working dog rule on a hunt , but it does happen with pressure split tree dogs and thick coons.

What is your preferance Elvis?

Exercise your leash lock option @ that point in the game.Use this new rule to your advantage you don't have to turn loose knowing that all your going to get is next available on strike ......Walk to the second tree w/dog in hand score the second tree then exercise your option @ that second tree to turn loose,that would be a possible100 strike pts. (two coon).............

If you do that , now your down another 150+ becasue you didn't get anything for holding onto your dog. I don't see how that could be to anyones advantage , but I give you credit for thinking far ahead (probably to far ahead) .. lol

You need to know when to play the option card....when it will benefit the dog your handling.
