\u25cf Not ensuring that the cross-tracks are always at least fifty yards in length before and another fifty yards after they cross the primary track. Instructions to cross-trackers should include going straight into, through or over any physical or scenting obstacle. The cross-track should be “obstacle free” for thirty yards before and after they cross the primary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
