Jarvis, Roy or RD: Garmin Use ? at SS last night?

Postby R. Jerry Leviner » Fri Oct 23, 2009 10:33 pm

This came up last night in second round of SS: Two dogs declared treed and one on lease one still loose but hunt time expires! Tree still to be scored! Judge allowed hunter to go get his dog with use of his Garmin GPS! He's winning the cast until last tree is scored! We walk about an hour trying to get to the dogs which are across a deep creek and steep hills! We walk out of hearing and can't get to them without assistance of the Garmin so we take the minus which cost one of the dogs the cast win! When I got to the tree one of the hunters that had got lost was at the tree and had been so for over an hour! He said dogs never missed a bark for over an hour! Coon seen!

All said and done the question is what should be done about the hunter using his Garmin before the hunt is over and tree is scored even though time had expired? I questioned the judge but to no avail! My position is the hunt was not offically over until the last tree was scored! The hunter that went and got his dog won the cast!

J. REMAINING WITH CAST - Each handler shall be
required to remain with the cast for the entire hunt
even though his dog may no longer be a part of the
cast, unless all remaining handlers agree to his leaving,
or he will be subject to disciplinary charges.


E. USE OF TRACKING COLLARS - A dog may wear a tracking
collar during the hunt. It can be used during any
time out to return the dog to the cast.

I guess the question would be when does the hunt end? When time expires or after the last dog is scored? My guess would be that in terms of useing your Garmin, it ends when the time expires.

That's what I contested! I thought it was when the last tree was scored not when the time expired! Guess PKC needs to make that call!

It probably wouldnt of helped to ask it last night. I heard of a real good hosing a panel gave.It was so simple I thought it was a no brainer. Guess I was wrong.
