Does that really happen? I haven't coonhunted since I've been here in Iowa and I haven't coon hunted in snow, but in CA when the leaves were off the trees you could bet your paycheck on seeing the coon in the tree (or sometimes caught in the briars) at the end of nearly every track started. A lot of that hunting was on river rock (mine tailings). The old man is saying he had 1 miss last winter, and that was hunting a dog that was decent but I sure don't consider him to be something special.
I would have ass-umed it would be similar in the southern states, but I guess not??
Just goes to show there are no hard and fast rules.

I'll bet your coons are very happy you think that. Petting dogs on dens or when you can't find the coon, or not correcting them is how they get to be tree happy. Rewarding them for treeing the coon and repetition in doing that is how dogs get turned into machines. It's true not all dogs need to have coon put out them, but it seems to help in with 99.99 percent of all coon dogs that i know of.
