I had one, that ran a cold track as fast as he ran a hot track, it just took him a little longer, as the coon had more time to travel, he would trail up coons, that other dogs would not open on, and show you coons in the tree, that other dogs would not tree, with him. In other words, it did not take him long, to get treed, with the meat.

My type exactly and I don;t want him to get over 350-400 yrds then check back if not struck. Fun to listen to and have the coon at the end of the race. I always hunt alone so if one backs the other is fine with me if I had multiple dogs together.

BTW I am always looking for one just like that.

Mr. Bockelman I have had the type of hound that goes hunting and can work a hot or cold track in the past and what I have now. I've had this line of hounds sense 1977 they tree coons. Your subject will challenge those who don't know what a coondog is. Thank you for sharing the truth. Roll Tide. Gene Houston

Track dogs r a must this time of year here in Michigan.....
Especially hunting state ground that's been hunted hard .
Nothing worst than a treed dog 1-2 miles deep that's slick.....no thanks .....u can keep it until the leaves hide it's fault....then you'll have a winner...lol

I guarantee that dog won't be back ....up here not this time of year.
Ruttn boars ,checking dens, and u gotta dog with brains to keep trailing until it parks it on the outside.....throwing that locate that'll send chills up ur back .....that's priceless to me .
