Just getting into the coonhunting scene. I have 3.5 month old female Blue tick (great dog) takeing lot of walks in the woods with her, purchased her at 11 weeks. Ran some drags with her about 3 weeks ago then the snow kept me in did 5 more drags today. She treed 2 of the drags dead on, then she missed one and she got the last two but it took her a minute to find the tree. So far (I think) she coming along good. But she is not vocale at all she barks and bawls around the house when I play with her or if shes werstling with my other dog. But i cant get to make noise on the trail. Ive even tried teaching her speak for a treat but she ant gettin it any body have any tips or tricks??

at 3.5 months old, she is still a puppy...try letting her be a puppy, keep takin her out in the day time a day or two a week, dont mess with drags or caged coon much, as you can get them tired of them very easily...you cant expect much for one that young, maybe spend that time teaching her what come here means, and maybe a little time on a leash, basic obedience...

A lot of dogs don't give voice on drags and hot turn outs. True tale is when you start hunting them in the woods. Here's a second on too many drags and turn out coon.
