I’ve caught him in a hole or 2 but that’s about it

Sounds like he can't make up his mind if he wants to be a foxhound or a coonhound.

Send the dog in the direction of a coyote, or deer that you see before turning the dog loose. That way you might be able to cross that off the list, or find out what the dog has been doing.

Snow

If you get fresh snow cut him loose on it. tracks don't lie. After he strikes follow him and see what he's running.If you follow him a couple hundred yards and see he's tracks and they are online with a critters tracks for that far, chances are...

back tracking !

Have your vet check him for sore ears, tick borne diseases, and a thyroid panel. if he was treeing before, and suddenly stopped, it might be health.

Might just be a short in his wiring harness. It happens you know.


Tar

Daytime

Take him out in the daytime and try it. May not work though. Some dogs won't run off game in the daytime and will at night. But I'd try it and see what happens. If he is running a real track, and moving it forward and with some speed at least you know he can track. Might be like tar said, but more than likely he just needs to be told he can't run that kind of critters.

If you got the right dog you can't tell if the Coons are thinning down in your area or not.

Amen to that

No I mean the the honest strike, drive the track one way accurate locator and stay put tree dog that had great coon sense and hunted the place out good and takes the tracks as they come to it. When other hunters say that Coons are very thin on non available that dog still gets it done.
