nightfall There are usually about BO to dogs entered These dogs are then split up into groups of four which are called casta Each cast has a guide from the area in which they will hunt You then go to that area let the dogs go and they begin to search for coons These hunts by the way are usually in a corn field where the coons usually feed The hounds are Judged on a point system and the first bound to open up bark receives a certain number of points However the highest point Is awarded to the first bound that trees a coon The dog must remain at that tree for at least five minutes and naturally a coon must be In that tree Jack added that often these hunts begin at eight or nine at night and will continue until the wee hours of three or four in the morning It be forgotten that all this time the Judges and the owners are trailing behind trying to keep up with the hounds When asked Why do you enjoy the sport so much Rod found It a difficult question to Well I guess Its training and showing the
