Points system goes 1st strike 100 2nd 75 3rd 50 4th 25. Tree points 1st tree 125 2nd 75 3rd 50 4th 25

A dog can get scratched for fighting, not hunting for 15 minutes, running or treeing off game in a nite champion or grand nite cast.

Also you can get scratched for having 400 minus points, not calling your dog, not making sure the scorecard is filled out perfect.

Go to a hunt around your house and ask for a scorecard and go home and read the back of it an also get a rule book an read in inside an out and learn all of the rules.

Your welcome buddy

Yes you can. When you go pay attention to everything so if you start hunting the hunts you'll know what exactly to do if a situation comes up.

Make sure to get a rule book and read it buddy!

Read and study the rules!!
90% of people who whine and complain about getting beat or cheated dont know the rules so learn them 1st
When I started I spectated quite a bit and then I actually started writing the info down for the judge on the scorecard then started keeping the time for the judge before I ever handled a dog I could judge a cast it made becoming a good handler easier to me
Good luck we need all the new youth we can get in our sport

Ukc's main website has it under the coonhunting tab you can upload it and print it out.

Same thing that goes on during pleasure hunting with a few buddies. I have noticed that coons become a bit easier to see during a pleasure hunt and less trees fit the category of "circled". Might just be me though.

As long as you have a good judge you'll be alright

The rules are good to know; BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO KNOW YOUR DOG. YOU NEED TO KNOW EVERY BARK YOUR DOG GIVES YOU.

Like someone else mentioned as long as you get a good judge you'll be fine.

Exactly what T Felderman said know your dog every bark he makes so you'll know exactly what he's or she's doing.

I know exactly when my dog has coon or not by his bark.

I can tell when my dog is on track and on tree, when she's on track she chops once then switches over to a long bawl ten another chop then once she's on tree she's a constant chop.

Also like someone else said when you go pleasure hunting with friends act like its a hunt take a scorecard keep score. Run the time and everything make it like a hunt and do that a few times and then you'll be ready

I'll try that out this week. One of my teachers was a president of the coon hunters club around my area so I bet he has a couple extra score cards laying around

Just hunt her and have patience. If you enter a few hunts and don't win don't get dishearted just keep hunting and you'll wins will come in a roll.

I hunted in about 10 hunts before I won my first one then it seemed like I got on a roll an i won a bunch

She's still a pup right now, she will tree with other dogs and she split trees once down by a river bottom which made me proud. I'm still learning just like she is. Once she gets it down pat ill start entering her, she's doing a real nice job at benching right now to
