What to expect from a 2 year old hound

Just wanting any input on this age and what all to expect, im pretty hard to please just don't want to get rid of a good one too quick..

Expect what you put in to him. If he’s been laid in a kennel I wouldn’t expect nothing, if he’s been hauled 4-6 nights for a year I expect a WHOLE LOT.
EXPECT WHATS BEEN PUT IN.

Oh my goodness, the terrible two's... Expect him to backslide or turn around and go backwards. A two yr old can be very aggravating. A lot of times you can buy a nice two yr old very cheap because their owner got mad at them.

I’ve hunted this dog a great deal and is exceptional for his age, but with the coons not moving it’s making it tough

At two years old I expect a top, complete, consistent hound that can win anywhere. If a hound makes it to two here it has been hunted quite a bit.

In my case, the old fat bald headed dude in the mirror deserves more criticism than the potlicker on the end of the strap!

Travis and Jason are kind of saying the same thing. Jason is just speaking more to reality that most hounds are not getting enough hunting to be a nice hound at 2. If they have had the woods time and are not treeing their own coon alone and holding their own in company. I feel it is time to move on. I have a prime example that is my mind shows exactly what is being talked about here.

I have a hound almost 2 years old. Was exposed to the woods during the day some but not hunted regularly. The reason for that is my age and health at times. Last September due to me being on the road most of that month. I sent him to a friend to be hunted for that month. His first real hunting at about 16 months of age. I got him back and his potential just like I had seen the few times I took him was there but he needed more woods time with different circumstances before being close to a coon dog. Past few months I have felt better and me and Corey have spent some time with him. He is the kind that makes you want to take him. Because what he does he does good and he sounds good doing it. Really a pleasure to hunt. But he keeps reminding me of failure to put the time in with him younger to have even a more solid hound at this time.

Now he has a Brother out in OK. I think that is the state. He was given the woods time. His owner is real proud of him and he has been in UKC hunts and two other $kc hunts. He has hunted against several proven hounds in the hunts and has done well. He has Championship degrees in every registry and won money in every registery he has been hunted. This is the second year at close to 2 he has qualified at RQE's for the world.

So that is the story of two out of a litter and one had the attention he needed to make a hound at 2 years of age and one that was owned by an old man that has potential but still has aways to go. It actually hurts and encourages me both at the same time when I get videos of the dog in OK being in final 4 of larger hunts and getting live feeds of the final cast with him in it. When mine can tree his own coon just fine but a long ways from a final 4. It is not his fault but MINE. But at the same time I am not encouraging anyone to keep a 2 year old around that is not doing it and has had the woods time. That is the other side of the coin and in my opinion also a mistake.

I mentioned in my last post that mine is progressing at two. Well his brother is also. But he is doing it winning a few dollars. Just the difference in hunting one and not hunting one.

Bo Bo the brother to mine I mentioned in my last post. Pick up $4,000 more dollars last night at the DEEP FORK CLASSIC

The story with mine is it is just easier to take a few pictures and make a movie from the recliner. Than it is busting the swamps.
