Her whole life! I had a female blue dog that routinely stayed treed all night. When I first started, I got into a lot of places I didn't know. I didn't have a compass or a sense of direction. All I had was a piece of rope for a lead and a flashlight. I got lost so much it was pitiful. I slept in the woods more than at home at first. I could get to the dog but would get lost coming out. Funny now.
Anyway, this dog was born to stay treed. If I hunted somewhere strange alone and the dog got deep and treed, I knew I would get lost. I would wait her out. She always came and found me at daylight. I can't count the times that dog got treed at first dark and treed till the sun came up. All her descendants are so far the same.
I felt so guilty for not being able to get her off the tree I saved up and bought one of the first compasses around. I still don't have a good sense of direction, but I always go to one treed now. No matter what.
You see a lot of ads for all night tree dogs. If you start the clock, you will find the night only lasts a couple to three hours for most hounds now. I still won't keep one if it won't stay treed till the cows come home.
It seems like that old blue bitch spent her life treed, and I feel blessed to have shared it.

I may be wrong, but most of the real radical 120 bpm tree dogs that are popular now aren't all night tree dogs.

Most of the really long tree dogs I've seen were just good, calm, steady tree barkers. I'm sure there are exceptions, but this has held true more often than not in my experience.

Bulk, thanks for the memory jog. Guess I thought it was cut in the 90's instead of the 80's. Like I said, I couldnt really remember when it was. I guess getting old aint a bad thing but sometimes it sure is "unhandy". LOL Anyways, thanks for the correction.

I owned a gyp out of Blue Run Gentleman that stayed treed for three days with two of her pups. Hunting around the house and didnt put tracking collars on them, could hear them but couldnt find them. When I got to them I shot the coon out Had to take pliers and pull the bark from between her teeth. One of her grandaughters stayed treed on a bear twenty one hours before I could get to her this past spring.

I read the same story in Outdoor life one time. Did you get to see the picture? It looked like some kind of ''demon dog'' trying to claw it's way up the inside of that tree. Freaky.

A Night to Remember

The longest time that I've ever witness a dog(s) to stay treed, was about 17-18 hours. It was our CH'PR'Clayton's Double Sackett Bull and a buddy's bluetick dog named Jake. We took them coon hunting one night at a place in the Nantahala Gorge called 711. At about 9pm they struck and burnt it way across those mountains, and ended up in Telico-not TN. You talk about a pretty race. Here we were up on top of this moutain with the moon shining, looking down at the fog settling in the vallies, and listening to our hounds sing the sweet music that told us they had a coon treed. It was awesome. We could hear the echo of the dogs, but couldn't tell exactly where they were. Where they were treed was in a VERY rough area, lots of rock cliffs and laurel bushes. As you know, sound bounces off of rocks and the sound of the dogs bounced around soo much, we like to have never figured out where they were (If you have ever saw the movie "Nell" and saw the picture of the lake-I can take you to the overlook where the picture was taken on 711 road. Rough, rough, rough.) We drove around to Telico gap and thought that the dogs had moved. This was before we ever had a tracking system and every where we went it sounded like the dogs were where we just came from, or like they had moved. We decided to leave them and come back the next morning and look for them. At 3am we left and went home. We returned to Telico Gap about 10am. You could hear Bull and Jake bark every now and then. We had brought a friend of ours with us that knew every trail to take around there, and he helped get Quincy and Justin on the right track to the dogs. I took the truck and picked them up on the other side of Tellic, which is called Needmore. It was about 3pm and I heard the gunshot and figured that they would be on in a while. At about 6pm they came out. The dogs were tired and Hungry, but were tickled to death that they had gotten found AND gotten a coon!

John, for the most part I would agree with you on the radical tree dogs. The steady, calm, sixty bark a minute hound is more dedicated. But I see a real trend changing that. I have seen many hard, hard, tree dogs stay all night( a real night not a couple hours). We just have to seek them out and use them.

Im actually surprised she ever came off of it. she is a no pull tree dog. My cousin was hunting her for me and a strong storm came up and was hunting without a tracking system. she came treed somewhere around midnight almost out of hearing and I know I have heard her tree nearly two miles away myself and he could never get a location on her. It stormed all night long and he just headed in. The next day at 3 pm she came out from behind a friends house who had heard her treeing when he got up that morning way off in the distance. He had no idea she had been there all night. she came up to his house and he called my cousin from the number on the collar.
She is the hardest longest treeing coonhound I have witnessed in over 48 years of coonhunting. I have a lot of miles on me in the woods and thats asking a lot of a dog.
I have never seen a dog with the grit and determination she has. she literally loses her mind when she trees. she hates a coon so bad that we have shot coons out of split trees less than thirty feet from her and had a tremendous coon fight with pups and young dogs and she will not miss a bark.

shes a grand daughter of bark and rat attack. coming 5 years old.
her pups do the same thing. they tree very very early and hand their toes in the wood.

My Rudy dog stayed treed 10 hours one night! I was hunting about 2 hours away from home on a deer club I was in. I was hunting my Rudy dog and his mother Alice. We treed several coons eairly that night. I was hunting next to a huge swamp when Rudy and Alice struck two different tracks Alice treed on the edge of the swamp. Rudy went deep into the swamp and got treed about midnight. I tried everything I could to get to Rudy the water was just to deep and I am not swimming a swamp in May. I left when the sun came up that morning to go home and get the boat by the time I got back and put the boat in it was a little after 10am by the time I got Rudy off his tree.That is the longest I have ever had a dog stay treed and I hope I never have to go through that ever again.I learned a valuble lesson that night I always have my boat with me when I go back to that deer club.

Back when I first got started. My buddy that was (training) me said he wanting to hunt his place right behind his house to see just how long his dog Dixie would stay treed. Well 24 hours later we went and got her out from under a coon. This walker female is the very reason I'm hooked on coon hunting to this day. I don't know why I remember this but she would stand forever on the bench after she was set and I know nothing about bench showing to this day. If I remember right she was sired by a dog named Kentucky River Rowdy.

a friend of mine was hunting a blue dog earlier this season at a place near a local lake. he got there a couple hours before i did. when i got there i turned out down the lake and followed my garmin all the way to the end of a point on the lake , about a mile, where my buddy was standing at the edge of the lake. this blue dog had swam out to an island, probably 150 or 200 yards. i don't know how long he'd been there when i got there but he was treeing pretty hard. We called to him for about an hour before i decided to walk a mile back to the truck, drive 25 minutes home, hook up my boat, drive back to the lake and take the boat around to the island and get the dog. i'm guessing 5 hours or so, who knows how long he'd have been there had we waited him out. that was interesting.

I had an old black and tan 10-12 years ago. He treed in a VERY bad swamp(we call it no mans land) on a monday night and i would go back every 6-8 hours and he was still treed. He finally quit treeing and came out to me calling him on Wednesday morning. It was cold and when he finally came out I felt sorry for him, he could barely walk and had ice on his back.

Pride trailed a coon across Cotaco Creek here in North Alabama and treed him on Grendel Hole Island at 10:30 pm. Pride stayed treed from 10:30 pm to 6:30 am when a fisherman came by and ferried me to the island to pull him off the tree. Stay put coondog!!

Stay treed for more than two nights. Dog would let down during daylight and crank back up at night. And on a second occasion treed at 330 am and was still treed @ 11 am when he was pulled from the tree. The time he stayed treed for three nights was the.only time the dog had been left at the tree in 6 yrs of hunting him! So he expected me.

Hunted with Brookshier's Baldie many years ago. Witnessed him treeing 12 hours on an island one night. He was a son of Finley River Buck and placed in the ACHA World Hunt many times back in the day.

I had a Gr.Nt.Ch. Steve's Hardluck Hillbilly RED.Turned him loose one Spring evening on a guy's Produce farm one night.This farm is surrounded on 3 sides by marsh,and one of those sides go to a creek.Well,ol' RED and another young dog I had struck a track just inside the woods that night and the coon ran straight to the creek and treed in a cypress tree growin outta the water.Onliest way to git to him was either by boat or swim.I left him there at around 9:30 that evenin.Went back to the farm next mornin at 5a.m. and they were still treein'.Was finally able to call 'em off.Got 'em back around 7:30.Wish I still had RED.He was a coondog deluxe. I sold him last Spring to a guy in Walnut Grove,N.C.
