If my dog slicks it is not going to repetively do it, he is going to get a stompin and I expect it to be right in a short period of time after that if it does pull short every now and again...

But most of you don't keep track of this sort of things, neither do I..
accuracy nowadays is something hard to find, you can't beat accuracy or track driving ability into a dog. I don't average things up but when mine trees it has real wild live coons

That don't make any kind of sense at all. Especially Common ! LOL

I never kept statistics on accuracy but, I do know when I'm enjoying hunting and when I'm not.

I have a question. If you have a trained dog that has such poor tracking ability that it's only 60 percent accurate would you prefer it to run deer on the 40 percent of tracks that it fails to tree a coon on?
Personally I would rather it run fast game than be so sorry it can't tree a coon on 40 percent of its tracks he runs, at least on deer I don't have to walk to him. Guys a slick tree dog is just a sorry dog that's not able to tree coon.

The best tracking dog alive can have 6 coon a couple dens and a couple circles here in the mountains on frozen ground during the rut in January. Would you want it to run some deer? Many a world champion coonhound treed 60% or less on the way to its title.

It still baffles me how folks will count an unshineable tree against a dog. Also it baffles me how anyone would count an unshineable tree FOR the dog. The only logical way is to take the legitimately unshineable trees out of the equation.

There is coon on one a bucket feeders that between me and my uncle we have ran into dozer deck prob 8 or 10 times on long races sometimes. People can't tell me a coon don't learn to use a den as refuge over and over. I live in southern Mo and we have lots den trees. I see lot nice hounds that will show you a coon or a den and very very few slick trees. I think if coon on outside it will be found 19 out 20 times. But I think when you have lot dens they hold higher percentage of coon than people think. And there is my 2 cents worth.

Accurate is when you walk to the tree expecting to see a coon. An old 72 yr old buddy I take coon hunting once in awhile always asked me if he's got him? Now I try and get the jump on him ask the same thing, and he says, you know he does. LOL But if he ever misses, we look at each other all puzzled and confused scratching our heads and say that's odd, what just happened here? LOL

A must for me is a decent track dog. I probably sell a young dog too quick if I feel there not going to be good track dogs. I believe the better track dog will tree fewer slick trees. A good track dog doesn't have to be lighting quick just fast on hot tracks and steady on working tracks. The accurate locators will not be the pen crazy barkers with a low I Q.

Good thread with good reading of quite a variety of answers. A prime example of any human quoted accuracy percentage having about as much use as teats on a boar hog

Mines 50 percent either she's got a coon or she don't.

Is when you have a hard time remembering the last time you checked a slick tree.

20% slick. I will tolerate more during the rut or when a burn ban is on, but expect 20% or less yearly. 100 trees minimum sample size. I'd estimate a dog that shows only 20% slick has the coon in 60% or better of their dens/circle trees.

I mainly hunt ditches & big creeks. A hound has swimming water to deal with on most tracks on the creeks. Treeing coon isn't as simple as some is led to believe. The degree of difficulty certainly has a correlation to accuracy. Swamps with swimming water for hundreds of yards would seem extremely difficult to me. Bluffs or 30 ft high straight off banks etc.. would be tough on accuracy. Environment certainly will effect accuracy.

I personally think when a dog trees u should see a coon no matter what kinda ground u hunt I get it takes a better dog to tree I coon in harder conditions but if they can't tree it they shouldn't run it
