I don't why in the world would you post how often you cull on the internet.

The American Humane Society culls thousands of dogs a day. I have 3 channels of people shooting animals 24/7. I believe animals that don't perform the service they were raised for should be fixed and offered for pets, should they not find a suitable home they should be humanly disposed of.

I've got one that's about 85% pleasure hunting and 25% comp hunting. How's that for accuracy?

I live on the other side of the world from everyone. I hunt my dogs in a pack. This winter I had 6 dogs I hunted together the whole season. I hunted in the daytime pretty much all but about 10 times. I caught just right around 65 coon total in the season. Sadly only about 23 of them actually made it to a tree, the rest the dogs caught on the ground. I did not walk to a single tree this year that did not have a coon in it. Pretty easy to see in broad daylight with no leaves on. Have I walked to slicks with my dogs? Absolutely. But my dogs are far better beardogs, and I don't walk to slick trees in the mountains that's for **** sure. Now my issue I was logging is out of about every 10 tracks the dogs started, about 3 of them they could not figure it out and get it going, too cold of tracks, going backwards ect. So they finished about 70% of their tracks with a caught coon. Towards the end of season though I did realize that I had one real young dog who was starting and running possums, and I think some of those tracks were the other dogs being big mouth dick heads running their mouth getting to her until they figured out what she was doing, an the tracks seemingly "blew up" But she finally slipped up and treed a couple and caught one on the ground that I seen, and I got her bent pretty well. Seemed like after that things went a little better. I haven't had a dog mess with a possum in probably 8 or 9 years, so I was a little surprised. Thankfully no skunks this year,, and they were plentiful with all the flooding we had.

Most of the comments on accuracy are related to slick treeing dogs. In my mind the dog that trees multiple coon and leaves before finally staying on one up a small tree that they probably saw climb is just as inaccurate a tree dog as the slick treeing dog. Neither type is a good locator, yet the latter type is 100% accurate and wins a lot of hunts with a low score and never takes minus.

I count circles,slick and denz as no coon and it counts against them but that's me
