I decided to keep track for the year the number of nights hunted, number drops, coons treed, den trees, slick tree and few other categories on each dog I hunt and just over all total of my hounds. So far in 7 night hunting I have walked to 15 trees with on 1 slick tree. Some have been dens but over all been pleased in some ways and disappointed in others. But I think this will give me some good info to judge my dogs on. And how much time and how many nights actually hunt a year. Sure will be fun to see numbers after a full year on each of my dogs. Might not want let wife know just how many night I actually do hunt.

I used to track "trees with coon seen". I didn't care about dens, circles, maybes or slicks.
When the dog treed it went down as a tree. If I found coon it was good if no coon seen it went against him. It's kind of tough way to score it but if you are honest enough to do it over 4 or 5 months you will know what your really hunting.

Problem is most folks aren't honest enough with themselves.

The way I look at it is .......
I'm a coon hunter. When a dog trees , either I can kill a coon or I can't.
!Plus or minus , no excuses !
That's why it's so hard to find a real coon dog , too many people want to make excuses !

My pup made 4 dens the other night. Old accurate bone dog would not cover. I guess those Dens had coon in em. +3 for her lmbo. That's why they go against em. As many are empty as have coons. Probably more. You'll not see a sure nuff stomp down accurate coon dog even make many dens besides about this time of yr. Then it's not as many as others will.
