Slick Tree Question

What is the most slick trees you have made in one night or the most you have heard of someone making??


I had a guy tell me over the weekend that not too long ago he and a couple other guys made 11 slicks in one night without treeing a coon.


Please don't turn this into a breed bashing thread, just curious to know. I know most of us have had a night hunting with someone else or trying out a dog or something where we made a handful or more of slicks.


I know I have had a few nights where I have seen 3 or 4 slicks.

C'mon guys I know we have some good slick tree stories. Something to break the usual tone of griping and complaining on this board.

It's OK to look back on things and laugh from time to time.

After about two , or maybe three in one night, my dog is going home. And , it better not happen very often.

I did hunt with a woman , that had a female , for a couple weekends. We hunted friday , saturday , and sunday nights.
I kept track for those weekends and the last night (when I gave up) , I stopped counting at 33. Out of those 33 trees , made over a couple weekends , we saw the coon 3 times.
I quit hunting with her.

Had one over the weekend hit the same tree twice, put the paws on the timber sounded off three times left the tree ran the track came back hit the tree sounded off and left. I shined it the second time and nothin.
Ended up huntin for about 4 hours and didnt sound off the rest of the night.

slick trees

i'm not proud to say so ,but when my hammer dog is pen stale , like after the winter we had here in n. e. ohio,he will slick tree 3 out of 6 times for about the first week i start working him back into hunting shape. but like i've said on here before , the time of night you get in the woods has alot to do with slick treeing .if your in a woods where the coons have been feeding for hours , and have been up and down alot , your going to get your fare share of slick trees, and i don't put the blame on my dogs for that .

Tried out a Harry bred dog once. Had him 14 days and hunted him 12 nights. Treed two possums, one house cat and at least 3-5 slick trees every night. I have to give him credit on three trees. One huge pine and two dens. I still dont know if there was anything in the pine or the dens though. That turned me against Harry bred dogs. LOL. Im sure that not all Harry bred dogs are this way. I think it had a lot to do with the guy who trained the dog. JMO Thanks, WES

Home of those with drive!
Speak the truth it will set you free.

Had a rat attack female did 28 slicks in a row in 4 days, the last one was a 3 inch tree 20 ft high with a tree stand and a piece of camo cloth waving in the breeze. Couldnt take it anymore so that was her last........

are you serious

ya bob i'm dead serious, after 53 years of hunting coon , i do know a little bit about it . maybe not as much as you , but i've watch coon in the woods i know how they behave, and i know that you get the most slick trees when coon are feeding heavy , or breeding heavy. i'm sure other folks will have their own opinions ,this one is mine .

i have seen more slick trees by a swamp one night when everything was wet even my own dog that i can count on one hand the times i couldn't find a coon and rhats seven years of hunting her still can;t figure out why 4 real good dogs sliched on a little scrubby tree and not only that 3 of them went back to the tree the second time and were treeing hard the only thing i can think of it was real dry in the woods but that tree was standing in water and wet i believe there had to be real strong scent in that tree due to being wet

slick

3 in one nite ONE time with young dogs do not have enough coons for those situations jmo bad woods+bad %= bad dog (gone dog)

had a walker pup pull up short 4 times on the same track one night.. it was a good training session that night..
ended up make a half way decent dog and clean up his mistakes after a few my session like this.

i don't know what time of the year you're talking about ,but it could very well have been that a bore coon mark that tree , as they will often do during their breeding season. all wild quadrupeds have breeding bounderies that they spray ,these spots maintain a scent much stronger then normal . could be why the dogs returned to it .

I think if you check it out Rat's problem was squirrels when he was young, A lot of these slicks are squirrels, even the little flying squirrels, around creeks and marshes mink, you don't see them a lot but thier there. I have a old lipper bred bitch that the boy who owned her before me shot 100 squirrels a year to her but at night she is a coon treeing machine, but every once in a while she will tree a tree with a squirrel's nest.
