Common Hackberry Celtis occidentalis

that's about all I remember from dendrology. We don't have too many of them in PA

We have a lot of Hackberry trees around here in central Texas.
Not any trouble slick treeing, but when the berries are ripe; usually around September here, there are coons everywhere.
We also have wild grapevines and I noticed that that one hound inparticlar will seem to tree alot on these grapevines and more often than i'd like to admit I can't find a coon. Could be the thick vines or well used travel paths.

Here in Oklahoma we have lots of hackberrys. If you got a tree dog they will miss some on them.

Hackberries are thick around here, I have had my pups and older dogs do the same thing, lots of coons feasting on the little berries. not to worry, if she hasn't had problems before, it's likely she's not having any now, just too much scent up one tree, just like a den.
the hackberries here in missouri seem to be extra pleantful this year, I've had more luck hunting around hackberry trees than corn fields.
I don't think you got anyting to worry about!!

what you have is very common you have a hackberry elf. seen it before several times. there little fellows and have green hats, they have coon on a lead they just run him up a hackberry tree then put him back in sack. and set back in dark and wait. if you listen real good sometimes you can hear their laughter as your dog trees. merry christmas walker hunter bob

I am with u Manders B&T. Hackberries are loaded here. Have one here that is super accurate and she has been loading up on them hack. Pretty hard to fault one when there is piss and -hit running down the tree. I always wonder if those coon just eat and eat because the poo is never digested. Just piles and piles of berries. Our coon have been moving very late here, but like u said, get into a big hack timber late at night and u can burn a barrell up. Later T

We had a lot of late summer moisture here and the hackberries are thick as of yet. Been getting some slicks here to but with all these coon still feeding on the berries it's to be expected. They'll go up a tree feed a while on some easy berries then down and over to another tree and then the same thing over and over. The tree has heavy scent on it probaably from more than one coon and you can't hardly fault the dog for it. After all the scent is there. It's like a endless trail of scent from one tree to the next with no end and the scent is heavy on the tree . The dog has to tree some where.

Be it a ton of scent or not I still expect them to find the coon. I do fault them if they miss and they know it. lol

I thought i was the only one haveing this problem. My gyp that will be 2 next month was on fire during the first of the winter and fall. In the past 2 weeks I have seen 3 slick hack berries and 2 or so other slicks and about 3 dens. I was wondering what her problem was.

ya know those hackberries are sweet. I had been around hackberries for years and finally tasted one a while back. No wounder coon love them. I don't mind the first slick hackberry but the hounds better learn quick to get on the ground and tree the coon.
