Failing to release a hound

Postby Daniel Keller » Tue Aug 09, 2022 8:30 pm

Can a handler choose not to release his hound, keep it on the leash, if they feel like it is to their advantage toward the end of the hunt?

No sir, the only way a hound will not be released is if all dogs are declared treed and the hound is leash locked. The hound must be walked a minute and recut.
