Loopholes in the rules now give the track quiter an out.
Walker dogs have greatly deminished the chances of finding a coon in the tree.
Time to go fishing!!
there are slick treeing idiots in every breed . there are alot of walker dogs out there so your chances of seeing more slick treeing walkers stands to reason , but that is probably why ther are more good walkers than there are good in the other breeds, because of the numbers that is..ive been hunting these hounds for over 29 years and i wouldn't go back in time for nothing. oh ya there were good dogs back then, but not very many. and you could have a very nice dog , breed it and get nothing . they wouldn't produce. and have you ever tried to beg a pup to tree? it isn't fun ,and most that you have to beg won't .
good luck with old blue
