3 dog cast. dog A and B have just been scored on tree. They are led away and the 6 is applied to dog C who has been truck in before A and B were scored. 6 is broke when the cast faintly hears dog C treed through the country leash locking A and B. Cast walks 45mins to dog C to find that he is treed across a big river. 20 mins is spent searching and searching for a way across to no avail when handler of dog C tries to cross but is just too deep causing him to almost going under. The truck is over 1.5 miles in the opposite direction from where dog C is treed and clearly out of hearing distance of the dog.

Hmm decisions....What to do?

And when you guys score this, please reference Rule number and why you chose the route you chose. Thanks.

About the only thing you can do is call time out, delete dog C's strike & tree points, give him an hour to retrieve his dog.

There is no way to continue to hunt without calling time unless dog C's handler withdraws, leaves his dog treeing, and allows the other two to recast and compete the hunt. I don't think anyone would want to do that, but he could.


#13.F. Dangerous Obstacle/Deep Water - When dog(s) are treed across deep water or any other dangerous obstacle, after all efforts to reach dog(s) have been exhausted and the cast cannot reach dog(s), all points should be deleted and the time-out rule applied. Under no circumstances should any cast member attempt to cross water deep enough to require swimming.
Prepare yourself and your hound. Hunt the dog, read the Blue Book, and your Good Book!
