Think on this. You,the coon,are running for your life with a predator chasing. You climb tree to flee scared to death. You are up in tree for 45 minutes or more getting more and more nervous that your life is near the end. How far could you jump. What risk would you take to save your life. I think more bail than we think. Just my opinion.

I know the above is a bizarre scenario but I have thought about it often.

They won't always look but I hunt public land so they have all been treed before. If veins are running just shake them hard to jar the tree if squaller don't work. If no veins grab big rock and make the tree jar. Just make him nervous and it will usually look. Never brighten your light. You will be surprised if your patient you can make them almost always look if there. Lol

One thing is for sure, the only one the dog has to please is the one feeding him. And its a good thing, or all the dogs would be dead and gone from everybody culling everybody else's dogs. Do yall think accuracy is more natural ability or more training ? Until recently I thought it was 90% natural ability, but with this English redtick female improving the way she has I don't think its that much with certain dogs.

I actually do think your right there are some bailouts and some of those slick trees do have coon in them you never saw. Even when the leaves are off iv'e seen some trees where if I hadn't gotten real lucky in spotting the coon I'd never have seen it. Some of those big trees just have an awful lot of hiding spots in them.

I never have to worry about making 10 trees a night.

It really only matters how accurate YOUR dog is why would somebody get on the computer and call somebody halfway accros the country a liar? Which is what this is by the way! I hunt ant hunt with a few really accurate hounds. and a few that arent. but nobody has to feed my dog but me and i wont feed one that misses very often. just because your dog isnt up to snuff doesnt mean there arent men packin coon treers.

90%

not saying I have owned one. 9 out of 10 is 90%..........54 out of 60 is 90%..........90 out of 100, 180 out of 200 and 270 out of 300 is all 90%............my point is, I believe people in areas with a lot of coon don't mind dogs that are closer to 60%. With that high number of coon chances are that you will get treed within 400-800 yards right? Most of the time this is what the garmin says when some folks get struck and nobody is gonna walk to a tree a mile in and mile out (when this is usually what you walk) to a dog who may or may not have a coon (60%). with that said..........80-85% is more realistic and can eat my ol' roy any day

I agree with Robert Whitten. If a dog is only 70% accurate, why feed him? If I walk into a tree, I fully expect to see a coon or cat, if not, there better be an obvious den tree.
Adios,

You're a bad man Mr. Jones !!

80-85%, are you counting dens as coon seen in your percentages? If so, what is an acceptable number/percentage of dens within that overall 80-85%?

Apparently, some of the folks who own World Champion Hounds don't mind to walk to one less than 60%

Go figure??
