Kyle, off hand, since I haven't hunted with him; if you are sure he doesn't have a health problem, tick disease, thyroid issue, etc. I would say he has a "long game" problem and can usually be helped by applying Tri-tronics discriminately. That said, even most trashy young dogs will tree a coon once in a while since November; I would check his health first, take him to OSU and have him checked for tick bourn diseases and check his thyroid levels; have his ears looked at too; if you are feeding a corn or wheat gluten based feed; he could have allergies. There are lots of things that can cause a dog to go "off his game", but I would check his health first and work from there. If I can help you in any way, just ask. Tom Prithcett
