Missing coon by a tree
The dog I’ve been hunting hard keeps me scratching my head. Most nights he’ll drive one in there and have the coon. Occasionally (three times this month) he has went in and struck a track, moved it a couple hundred, fell treed and was slick but the coon was sitting a tree or two over. He’s never had any issues on a tree with another dog and has no reason to not want to be on the tree the coon is in. My only thought is that what i think is him picking up a track and driving it, is really him getting downwind of layup coon by a couple hundred yards and he’s getting treed at the last place he smells the coon. He’s not just falling treed, every instance this has happened he’s been open and seemed to be either working a track or winding for a couple hundred yards or more before he gets treed. Anyone had one doing this or have any advice on the subject?
Just pull him off and send him the direction of the correct tree.If you do that he should figure it out. He is most likely winding and missing but there will be more scent on the correct tree most likely.
I see this most often in our Russian Olive trees.... coons travel up and down them all day and night feeding... For whatever reason when I see my dog do this... it seems to usually be him treed on a Russian Olive, a tree or two over from where the coon is.

May be winding the coon and settling where he gets the best scent. Years ago I hunted with a dog that winded a lot of coon out of the truck. Sometimes he would miss at the tree and Kenny would light a cigarette, blow the smoke in the air and see which way it went. Then look up wind a tree or two and find the coon. But your dog is a lot closer than some I have hunted with in the last few years, lol.

Coon crossing into another tree
I seen a coon cross over five trees, I thought my dog was slick like you. I started to put the heat on that coon and watched it cross back over 5 trees and went into the tree the dog was teeing on. I learned alot that night. If the limbs are touching each other , your dog are not coming up slick. Coons are smarter then people sometimes.

Winding, coons crossing trees............... Maybe some dogs are just not good locators.
I've seen both.

David, I agree somewhat in that coon definitely change trees sometimes, but if a dog is doing that a lot of times, it is just wind treeing as some other posters have suggested. I have seen several coons cross over into other trees, but most coons do not cross over into other trees. The fact that they do sometimes cross over into other trees make it really hard to surmise if that is the case or not. Just like some coons will run in the ground while most coons do not. You have to decide based on the dogs accuracy and how offer they miss by a tree or two what the dog is actually doing.Dave
