Obviously I haven't hunted with all of them but I have hunted with a lot of the good ones. I have also pleasure hunted with them and had them on my Garmin. The Garmin tells on them. People think a lot of these dogs are running a track when they are not. I'm not talking about babbling. I'm talking about what I call rambling. They ramble all over the country "drifting" a track. What they are really doing is bumping on every rabbit, armadillo, skunk, squirrel, deer, fox, coyote, chipmunk and anything else that lays a track until they find a coon they can tree up a bush. There is no other way besides babbling to explain a dog covering country barking every 50 to 100 yards going in a virtual strait line. Then you watch them working a track for last 100 yards and treed with a coon. Or they fact that they are always struck in fairly close and treed way over there. I could understand not knowing this before the Garmin but it makes it pretty obvious whats happening. The guys hunting them that are doing this know exactly what they are doing but calling them track dogs sure makes it sound better.
Lol, OK; well at least they ain't babbling when they get a short distance away and being called track dogs. That's what they went to breeding to attempting to beat them in competition Hunt's. I am aware what a real track dog sounds like working track. I heard the same thing when I hunted them with them high powered competition dogs years ago because they got last strike if any and still got beat to the tree. I have never seen a walker completely straight without collar work. As far as tar rattler,he was a trackdog. However he was not the best tracking dog I ever seen. Like stated earlier, the owners of these trackdog studs know what happened, some hunters realize the gyp has alot to do with pups as stated above.real tracking dogs were culled with the exception of big game hunting mostly. Mr Kiddy brought it back in coonhounds. Real good track dogs with over powering speed and locating ability are like World Champions, once in a lifetime,mostly. The rest are common place ordinary good dogs,some better than others in certain abilities, some not. The female matters.
