Mark, you are right, they do hunt in a pack, have a natural instinct and learn from doing. But their mother "starts" them, I think. Of course, I am no coyote trainer and I have been wrong before (once).

I bet a dog like that would have a killer locate!

Hey...I bet I could get a lot of first strikes when a train sounds off in the distance too

When I was much younger, I had a dog that just squeaked or squealed on track so I got a lot of first/second strikes. But I don't know how that happened because she was almost silent on track.

Im sure "will power" may have had a lot to do with it. Come to think of it Tony has a lot of will power too.....

When the rules changed to reward dogs who treed first and punish the others if they dont get there within 30 seconds to a minute....the goals changed for breeders. There can be only one dog first to a tree...so guys had to breed and train for dogs who would go and get their own first tree somewhere else. Not sure if its good or bad...but if you want to win in pkc and other hunts with a countdown on the tree...you have to have a dog that will do it at least some of the time...

a lot of truth right there.
if you have a dog that will fly thru the country to get by itself and ambush easy coon you will win. if you can get him to run his mouth while hes doing it you will win big. Big winners get bred to even though they may be pitiful track dogs.

people have figured out that its much easier to breed and train for loners than it is to breed better track dogs which is what it takes to win when dogs compete for the same coon. Its rare to see a great track dog anymore.

Shane, Doc says that Tony is "sassy and creative". Now you are saying that he has a lot of "will power". He sounds like he is a real neat guy. Maybe he should run for President. Those Texans seem to make pretty good ones. He is starting to get pretty famous.

Posted by Hoosier Outlaw on 02-14-2016 05:51 PM:

There is a fine line between famous...and infamous...lol
As an outlaw...he always seems to be stradling it

Was just trying to use a example is all Richard I don't know ether
But I have started enuff young coon hounds over the years that there is nothing like a self starter
Just so happens my top five I've ever hunted where this way and thats the kind I want and don't think I should have to teach them to do what they was bred to do find track and tree game had way to many that showed me great things in controlled invierment to only lack key traits to be a top hound after months of work and time
Ill take a great natural athlete over a well coached mediocre one every time jmo
And I'm lazy 😎

Doing it in the wild...unscripted and un aided is a whole different thing than drags and cage coons.One has to do with natural ability...the other is an attempt to "train" a dog to do something that often isnt coming out naturally with props and situations it will rarely ever encounter in the wild. Ive seen dogs that it didnt come naturally to...make coon dogs after a lot of "training" with props...but what you "train" into a dog does not pass on to its offspring. Thats why I like to use dogs in our program that showed natural ability from the start...before they had to be trained to do it. I think most coon hounds have a certain amout of natural ability they are born with...but some lines have a lot more in certain areas than others. I always like to see something natural show through before I start trying to do any "training"..... Some " trainers" just start out with props and keep using them ( and over use them in my opinion) as long as they have the dogs there. You dont see many dogs that go down that road show natural independence because the trainer altered the natural path the pup may have taken on its own if given the chance.... Dogs started and finished in a pack usually end up as pack animals and those rarely win in top level competition. Some seem to like that type ...but im not one of them. I like to see natural ability from the start and natural independence develope as they build their confidence while being hunted alone. Once that becomes habit and they know they dont need another dog to lead them to a coon or do any of the work ....then they are ready to start competing in a " pack " (cast)

I want one

If there are any of these naturals that are spoke of here I would like to buy one. Every dog no matter what breed or what game they're hunting I've had to train. It sure would be nice to get one I don't have to do anything with other than take it hunting. Cash in hand. A man certainly would guarantee a pup of this caliber I would imagine

if I could see in the future and new what litter and witch ones from a litter wil be the naturals I'd shore help you out but I don't have that ability
Only way I have found the ones I've had was take them hunting and in just a few drops there doing it
I've had five in 35 years so I'd say there pretty rare
Now I never said I didn't have to do some training I just said I didn't have to show them before I hunted them what I wanted them to do find a coon track trail a coon track to a tree and tree till I got there they had never seen a coon that I know of before they treed there own coon
Wish they all was like that but there not but when you get one they usually turn out to be special in the timber and breeding pen
Sounds like tink was like this and the last one I had was her half brother who died young

Mr. Marshall

I would love to pick your brains on training sometime. I've obviously been training wrong. I didn't know there was more than track n tree with a coonhound. I've only had coonhounds for the last few years. Have always raised and trained labs and probably ten years with running hounds. Figured coonhounds can't be too difficult. Obviously I'm mistaken. Or maybe " natural to one is not the same as natural to another " kinda like started and finished its not always the same. But nonetheless I want the breed to move forward and if there is a line like this or that throws a better percentage of pups that track n tree naturally with no training by man or hound. That surely is what the breed should be after in a whole. Wait what did you mean when you said you have to train? If your not training track n tree what are you training. Again probably easier to chat on the phone sometime. Thank you for your help.

Pm me your # some time
Train to lead in the woods to come when called
Off game and so on

Mark, obviously I love the coyote anology, "you don't have to train a coyote" or I wouldn't be giving you a hard time.

Mr Sweet, "cash in hand"??? What would you give for one? Getting one to track/tree is only half of the battle. You can learn a lot about training from Mr Marshall, nothing about handling but a lot about training. Usually his fellow cast members have to get together and call his dog and find his coons for him. But he is excellant at calling his dog into him and leading and loading her.

"In the wild" can be a lot different in different parts of the country. "In the wild" in some places means riding around until you see 3 or 4 coons run out of a cut corn field and then turning that "natural" pup loose on them. In other areas of the country it means turning that natural pup loose and walking him/her out into the wild where there is a bucket. To some it means turning a trapped coon loose "into the wild" and then turning the pup loose. And then to some it means turning the pup loose and having him/her go 800-900 yds to find an old cold track.
In my opinion with limited experience, having a "natural" starting pup just makes it a lot easier and gets you real excited real quick. It doesn't always equate to ending up with a better dog in the long run. But then I am not much of a pup "trainer". I mostly just turn them loose and let them go "a lot". Once they get started then I sell/send them to someone to train them. That is the hard part.

I don't like to cut loose in the same woods twice so I just let her tree till the others get treed its stradegy Richard
I'm lazy remember 😀
