I’m not a big fan of deep and lonely, I’ve enjoyed being that “dog” sometimes but I think it really messes up a good hunt often. What I want is one that that try’s to find a coon to tree every minute that it’s loose. No running from others, running junk or making slicks. Just treeing coons! With that said I think a dog needs to know what kinda tracks it can handle and seek those out. Some dogs can take a old track and handle it easily, some need a hot one. IMO a dog that can take the first track it finds and tree it easily , it will win and be a joy to hunt. We’ve all seen a dog try to do something that it can’t do well..... I believe the biggest difference in what I like to compete with and what I would use to “take fur” with is just the hunt style. If I am trying to catch coons I would like one that doesn’t hustle past coons as much. I’m trying to catch them, not beat the clock.

I think what u are calling the “meat dog” can and will win a bit more often with these rule changes. The recut will be big now. I’ve often said if a dog would hunt with speed, into the wind cutting and slashing through a woods that it would be hard to handle in a cast.

Sometimes yes! Lol
It seems like when I’m hunting a dog that doesn’t “go find” a coon when needed I end up loosing casts to ones that will. When I hunt a big wide hunter, I get beat by one that works them up close...... it’s a double edged sword at times

And what some guys call a "deep" hunting dog isn't all that deep. Most are calling 500 yards a deep hunter. I like for a dog to hunt its way out from me. And go as deep as it takes to find a coon. And I don't care much for 1 that hunts in a straight line. I personally prefer a dog to hunt a 500 yard loop around me then go deeper.

I like dogs to tree the first coon they come to off the snap. The issue I see is a bunch of guys haven't seen a good or great track dog before, so they don't know what 1 is. And I've seen some good dog work and bad dog work from some dogs that are better than avg. I'd expect to see both out a dog over time.

Almost every tree is a death march here Tar. Couple thousand feet of elevation change and I wouldn’t think I have many round trips to trees under a mile. I remembered to set the Garmin odometer one night this winter and it was 11 miles and 9,000+ elevation change before I set back down in the Toyota. I remembered why I quit keeping up with it, because it proves how insane I am!

We just got in from fishing. I didn’t know social distancing ment getting drunk and try to run over fisherman with your airboat!! Must have been 10 of them. Couldn’t fish for those idiots. But we take long walks here to there is no driving around on this public hunting but pleasure hunting however long it takes me that’s ok lol.

KDWPT (Kansas Wildlife) put out that we have 40 coon per square mile in excellent habitat. Twenty to 25 per square mile in good habitat. I don't see that being possible.

Same here. For the last three years I've been having an amazingly accurate female. I also have her 9 month old sister that looks to be the same way. I think there a only about three coons in the woods I hunt, but every time I go I see one or two of them.
