Two World Hunt Winner Questions

Question 1.

What type of coon dog does it take to win a world hunt in thick coon?

Question 2.

What type of coon dog does it take to win a world hunt in thin coon?

would like all theories and ideas and past experiences...but lets leave out the luck part...we are talking about dogs that are world class coon dogs...the kind that you wouldn't bet against...

I have my theories but want to hear from everyone...

Kler kry made a comment that I believe is spot on.

That's simple!!

I've never owned a world class hound. I may never own a world class hound. I've never hunted above kentucky. I've never hunted in thick coons. But I do hunt my dogs as best I can as much as I can. With all that being said. The secret to winning more hunts then you loose is have a dog that will go hunting in any terrain or weather condition. Strike when he smells a coon locate when he finds the tree and stay there till you get there. LEAVE TRASH ALONE AND BE BY HIMSELF MORE THAN WITH COMPANY. Repeate this process and be fast about doing it. The rest is all luck.

Alone isn't really necessary, it helps but a good track dog is what you have to have and they can't out hunt their mouth.

I'm not talking about a dog that goes 900 yards to get by himself. But I'm talking about 1 that goes hunting on his own and doesn't care if anything comes with him. 1 that will check before he covers another dog. Would be nice to find 1 with enough brains to use his nose hunt the wind and tree lay up coons. But their isn't perfect people so their won't be a perfect dog. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it

#1. Automatic strike dog with a hot nose that can cover quick & tree coon also.
#2. An honest, wide hunting dog with no reverse, a colder nose and extreme accuracy.

Well read the play by play and then look at what you wrote.

A hound that covers ground and has no reverse that always gets treed with mr coon is my answer to both questions. " And the money to run him up and down the road cause ya cnt win if you not there".

Need one that will tree any style of coon and has to be fast and accurate. I've been blessed to hunt with 4 world champion's on a regular basis and they had every few bad nights.

Don't agree

A hound that is very intelligent covers a lot of excuses like weather, terrain , location, dusty,muddy. An intelligent hound can make the adjustments necessary.

Ding ding ding we have a winner! An intelligent hound is the answer! For both! Coon sense! This hot nose cold nose stuff is nonsense in my opinion.

Only dog I ever saw that couldn't smell was a bird dog that had distemper and was treated and saved ,that dude couldn't smell a lick . Every hound I've ever seen could smell fine some just don't have sense enough to move it forward.

Agreed 100% there is less than 3% difference between a bloodhound nose and a shepherds! The difference is how quickly their mind adjusts! And how willing they are to please their master.

Nose and trailing ability are separate traits.

And there is a difference between trailing and the ability to RUN any kind of track which is where intelligence comes in.

many people agree that there isn't much difference is the dogs ability to smell...the difference has move to do with genetics which includes the brain...

and like it has been said before...the difference between an above average hunting dog and a once in a lifetime dog is the levels brain power and I agree with that...

A good coon hound

Brains, ability, desire. to be able to take a track as they come, move it out and tree with accuracy. And consistent at it. Independence doesn't hurt either.
