The cast is down to two dogs. Dog A has first strike and first tree and Dog B has 75 and 75 on tree. Get in to the tree and Dog A is on the top of a cliff bank treeing on a huge oak tree and Dog B is at the bottom on a tree leaning over the river but a small skinny part of the tree is going straight up close to touching Dog A's tree. This cast has a non hunting judge. They proceed to score both dogs on SPLIT trees and immediatly handler of Dog A finds 4 kit coon up the huge oak tree. Now, with this find handler of Dog B wants the tree scored as ONE tree. After looking it over good they all agree that the trees do not touch but the non hunting judge says he wants to give the dog the benefit of the doubt and say that possibly one of the kits jumped from Dog B's tree into Dog A's. So say handler of Dog A wanted to question the judges call on the fact that he said the trees didn't touch: What is the chance that a MOH woud overturn his call?????? This tree not only determined the cast winner but determined wich dog made the Grand 16 at Autumn Oaks.

If the judge announced that the trees would be scored as one before starting the shining time, he should not change that decision AFTER the tree is scored. That defeats the whole purpose of establishing how the trees willl be scored before shining. My question would be solely about the judge changing how the trees are scored AFTER scoring the tree.

If they agreed to score it as split before shine time then that is what has to stick. Just a tough break. He took a chance there was a coon in his dogs tree and tried to get the extra 50 points and it come back to bite him.
