Question!!!

Blue Book

20. GOOD JUDGMENT
THERE WILL NOT BE A SPECIFIC RULE TO COVER EVERY POS- SIBLE SITUATION. THESE RULES ARE WRITTEN AND INTEND- ED TO IDENTIFY AND REWARD THE DOG THAT HUNTS, STRIKES, TRAILS, AND TREES A LIVE RACCOON AND STAYS
UNTIL ITS HANDLER ARRIVES. AT TIMES IT WILL BE NECES- SARY TO USE GOOD JUDGMENT RATHER THAN A LITERAL
INTERPRETATION OF THESE RULES TOWARD THIS END. IT IS
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THESE RULES FOR PKC STAFF MEMBERS, THE JUDGE, PANEL AND/OR APPEAL PANEL TO USE
THEIR JUDGMENT AND DISCRETION ON SITUATIONS NOT
SPECIFICALLY COVERED BY THESE RULES.

This is a mess thats for sure the rules work fine u only need one judge and hunters in woods in case of splits handlers go wait on their own these late rounds have way to meny peaple out there other than a judge and hunters mayb the play by play guy. Panel should stay at truck only to come to woods if reqested by judge for a quest of scoring trees.

[Randy Phegley]

So would u want that same panel member to start the 2 on Homer if he quit treeing or should he wait until the judge tells him to. Sometimes common sense must be used. Congrats to the winner.

Pkc puts on hunts wanting your dollar but when things go wrong they don't or will not make it right.RDC I've been knowing you to many yrs for you to set back and not make this right.PKC Credibility is on line here.

[Dylan Hovey]

Absolutely crazy that a backup judge can run time on a dog when the handler isn't around. That should never be allowed. This would be a big mistake on PKCs part if they allow it.

[Coy Sullivan]

Absolutely - that a backup judge can run time on a dog when the handler isn't around. That should never be allowed. This would be a big mistake on PKCs part if they allow it.

Exactly...There shouldn't ever be a time running if the handler isn't there! Several may say they wouldn't care an that it should be run. But you let them get out there an see how they like it, problem is most saying it should be allowed aren't out there for it to happen too.

I have read all the post on this subject and was just wondering how would you resolve this? Would the final cast be ran over again? or how would that work just wondering I don't want in this dog fight. In other words how could/would it be fixed.

[Joe Wilbanks]

In other words how could/would it be fixed.

Only thing I could see is that cast was declared dead and 4 places split, allow the 4 to keep the money they received and add money to those that got less than a split would have been, and set all dogs earnings as a split. I would present this idea to all 4 cast members and see if they agreed if not then the national directors would decide.

This is a prime example why we declined the pro hunt at Crowville not enough good qualified judges if you paying 300 to enter you should have the best judging possible not only at pro hunts but also superstakes and world hunt the real problem is if a man makes a mistake then he aint really man enough to say i made a mistake then make it right

[Elvis Black]

Wow, that's amazing! There is nothing about that situation that's right.

NOW TO THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T THINK Roger Dale does a great job and cares about THIS REGISTRY I bet he spends more time working to improve it than most of you do hunting and working combined , and to imply anything else or question his integrity is completely absurd

[Justin Jones]

The way to solve these types of problems are to keep the cast together. There should be no splitting Up to go to split trees. It creates problems and allows opportunities for things to happen which would not be possible if the cast was all together. We don't need more rules for judges and or panels we need to stay together so everyone in the cast witnesses the same events as they unfold. If you dog won't stay till everyone gets there then they better get treed first and stay close. Do away with allowing handlers to go to their dog as soon as the 5 is up everyone must stay together.

[Nickey Hale]

Congrats to Kevin, Darrel, Eric, and Coy for getting in the Final 4. Kevin won it, Coy should have won it, if Darrel could have figured out a way to get Kevin scratched he would have won it,and Eric just couldn't get struck with all them babbling dogs or he would have won it.lol Everyone cheer up there is another one next month at North Carolina. Seriously, everybody has been cheated a little some time and everyone has cheated someone sometime.

sounds like too many chiefs!
