caged coon question

what's the point of showin a caged coon to a dog/pup?

It is mostly people getting in to big of hury to introduce there pup to a coon. There are probubly more pups getting scared and set back by it than it does good. I don't show them one till it is old enough that I want to release the coon and let it try to track and tree it.

We agree on that one as well . I sold a guy a $600 dog and he brought him back even though he knew when he bought him that was his dog, from never mo and forevever hold your piece or else he would have cost the guy 2 or trey as much. But he brought him back anyaways with a coon in a cage and that dumb ass of his or mine, whatever, looked like he had never seen a coon in his lfe. So I traded to him ,for in my opinion, a lesser quality walker x dog that he is happy with.. I got pictures I'll post of that same dog cracking the skulls on 4 coons he locate treed in three different trrees that I shot out the next night by hisself. We didn;t play no fun and games training him is all I can figure. But I yet agrree with the man who bought him , he looked like an idiot messing with that coon in a buckit.

a caged coon should be used on a puppy not a dog that can tree his own coon. like they say a man has to be smarter than the dog , sometimes i wonder with these posts on here.

I won't show a dog a coon in a trap or cage. I will how ever trap and shoot a coon, drag it and let a pup try and find it. I will trap and release then let a dog loose, without getting a look, to track and tree it.

I have a friend who is one of the best coon hunters I know; he always hunts a good dog, and he never buys one. I was at his house one summer, and he had a couple of pups running loose, like always. Any way one of those pups was treed down below the barn; we walked down there, and the pup was treed on a coon in a pen above ground, like a rabbit hutch. I asked if he showed the coon to the pup, and he said no. I use the coon for a barometer; when that pup starts showing interest in the coon he can't see or the squirrels around the place, I start hauling them. Every hound is a victim of his genetics and the guy hauling them, at the very best they can only rise a bit above their dna and what the hunter will expose them to. Tom
