If I'm walking to a tree a want a coon to be in it. I have a dog here that I can honestly say I have only walked to one slick tree since he started 7 months ago. If he opens his mouth he has a coon. He was a natural from the start. He was not messed with on a drag or caged coon. I put him in the woods with my Preacher's Black And Tan and his son's Wal-Cur. They turned their dogs loose, five minutes later I turned him loose. Within five minutes or so he was treed with three coon in his tree. I was expecting him to tree with the other dogs. The Black And Tan was treed to the right of him 50 yards away and the Walker was treed 30 yards to the left. He held pressure. After checking his tree we went to the Walker. He had a possum and the Black And Tan had her coon. My dog has been the same dog for me every night.
The problem I have with him is that he always trees within five or ten minutes of being turned loose and after the first or second turn out it starts taking longer for him to work a track. I generally hunt on a 3,500 acre conservation area. I was told to try different areas between drops and see if the problem gets better. I told the man that told me this that he works out the area fairly deep and wide. I don't know. What do you all think? Don't tell me I need a Walker. It does not matter what the breed is you have to do your part.
