4 Dog cast- All Dogs struck, Dogs A-B-C are declared treed. 1-2 minutes into the 5, dog D falls treed to the left (obvious split tree) from Dogs A-B-C. Handler of dog D wants to leave his dog treeing but not declare it treed until completion of scoring dogs A-B-C tree

Can a judge apply a stationary rule to dog D which is obviously treed but not yet declared treed, at the same time that the 5 is running on the tree of dogs A-B-C???

Just curious what is the proper way to deal with a dog that is treeing but not yet declared treed. Does the handler of dog D have that option or can a judge require a call on dog D by applying the stationary rule.

I don't know the answer to this but looking for someone who does. Can you point me to the rule that gives direction on this issue?

Thanks in advance

you can apply the stationary but you will have to break it when you score the other dogs tree. The only time it could catch the dog is if AB and C all leave their tree.

It's just me but I wouldn't tree mine till your shine time is about up to leash lock you. In case you don't have a coon and I do but that's me !! But if the judge does put the stationary on him all he's going to do is wait till it's almost up and tree anyway it's called strategy !!

The rule is 6 (o). It says, "If handler fails to declare treed a dog obviously treeing (Judge's decision ) for a period of five minutes. Dog may be declared treed while the five is running but not after the five has expired. Judge must verify dog to be at a tree before it can be scratched. If the cast is in the process of shining a separate tree time shall be canceled or not applied to another dog. "

If you can keep separate fives on split trees then you should be able to run the five on the first tree and the stationary on the second. In this case the judge could have put the stationary on that dog but would probably have had to delay shine time to make it stand. If the stationary was still running when shine time started then stationary would be cancelled.

Why not just declare the dog treed, ask permission to handle it, go tie dog, go to first tree to help score it. Dogs are still leash locked until your tree is scored. This way you don't have any pressure.

No do not put the stationary on dog D if a declared tree has been called . Why cause how can you be in 2 different places at the same time . You need to be at A,B,C tree and when the 5 is up & score it too . So I say no .

When dog D is treed all dogs are then treed so go handle them all and start scoring.

You can't put stationary on dog D because you nor the hunters in case of question can judge dog D properly. He could come off with a ground barks while you are leaving to score the others. He could shut up,etc. No way can you put stationary on a dog when others are treed.

I would use the strategy part myself if it was my dog. Unless,I was only struck for a quarter. In that case I would go ahead tree,handle,score them all and turn loose for a fresh set of strike points.

Thanks for the explanation guys. Makes more sense now. Apparently I didn't think my last question through. What I meant was why couldn't the stationary be placed on one dog while tree time was running on another if 2 or more tree times can be ran independently? I do see the strategy and also how it would be tough to judge the stationary dog while judging the other dogs too.

Thanks for the many responses. I can see why you wouldn't want to tree your dog as #1, you could eliminate the squalling for 7 of the 10 minute shine time, for dogs A-B-C thus giving them less time to find the coon by squalling, and #2 you could eliminate the possibility of your dog pulling when the squalling does occur.

Some have suggested you have to stop the stationary when you are unable to properly hear dog D. What if dog D is only treed 30 to 50 yards from the remaining dogs. Would it then be OK to keep the stationary time running, so long as you didn't start shining the tree??

My interpretation of rule 6(o) is that if you are NOT in the process of scoring a different tree, it would then be OK to leave the stationary time running so long as you could still hear/assess the dog properly.

In this particular case I believe dog D was treed in close proximity of dogs A-B-C, as I was told they saw the dog on the tree as they walked past it to handle dogs A-B-C.

I was not on this particular cast so I don't know all the details, but it is my understanding all the above information is accurate as to the situation that occurred. I am curious as to the proper way to deal with this type situation if/when it occurs on a cast I am responsible for judging.

P.S. I hate the stationary rule anyway, but its on the scorecard so I have to learn the proper way to apply it, LOL!!

That is an interesting interpretation of unsportsmanlike conduct. We are talking about 1-2 minutes difference on dogs that are throwing distance apart. And it's for the sake of making a ruling, not avoiding a ruling. I'm not sure how I would handle this one. I'm just trying to learn. The way I see it the handler of dog D is gonna either call dog treed at the last second and leash lock yours ,wasting even more of your hunt time, or be scratched for not calling his dog treed when he should have.
