Hash Calls

Hash Calls are used to help guide the pack during trail. This is a list of commonly heard calls:

“On-On”

Called when a hasher has seen three consecutive marks and is certain that they are on true-trail.

“On-One”, “On-Two”

Called when a hasher has seen one or two marks after a check, but is not yet certain if they are on the true trail.

“On-Call”

When one hasher calls “On-On” others may follow them and shout “On-Call” until they personally confirm that they are indeed on-on.

“On-Left”, “On-Right”, “On-Over”

The trail is taking a turn in that direction.

“Are you?”

Short for “Are you On Trail?”. Called from a check to determine if someone has found trail. Appropriate responses are: “On-One”, “On-Two”, “On-On” or “Checking”.

“Checking”

Response to “Are you?” when you are trying to solve a check but have not yet found any marks.
