Gunslinger, nostalgia can really blind a man's perspective. What you are looking for is out there, you just aren't looking very hard.

If only there were a way to breed coonhunters to be more tight mouthed, because that is where most of the culling needs to be done. I personally like a tight mouthed dog because those babbling idiots make ground catches next to impossible.

tree hounds, run& tree game, curs run to catch, that being said, I think the main difference comes down to walker guys & non walker guys

Heck I don't even listen. I got these slick noise cancelling headphones like for mowing grass or other loud activities and i just take them with me and listen to sports radio. I got my phone in one hand and the garmin in the other, when the garmin says they are treed I got get them.

Long gone are the days i have time to sit and swap stories while I listen the the race. For me its about efficiency and getting the job done.

I believe their registered name is "coonhound," not tree hound, and to me that is a hound that finds game one way or another. But I'm sure you are right, walkers are a way better breed than the rest, and the people that hunt them are far more ethical and responsible breeders than anyone in any other breed. Golly gee, if only we could all have a walker behind the house.
