What a nice looking Bluetick. No wonder you guys use plotts and blueticks for kill dogs. I think you are breeding raccoons and bears to get that size. WOW !! I hunt a bluetick and a walker, last year our biggest coon we killed in years was on a leaning tree over a 40 foot drop and that coward walker saved that blueticks life by knocking him (the Bluetick) out of the way as he was ready to go up tree and get him. The coon then ran down and that walker pulled coon off tree and needless to say Moose the Bluetick crunched him while the walker attacked the tail at that. But he did save Bluetick from injury. I have only had 1 good kill dog that was a walker and he was best dog we ever had Findley river and Johnsons Banjo breeding.

Have a good day guys Jeff

has anybody seen a change in coon movement lately. just seems like it is tuff finding tracks that amount to anything.. most times the dog hunts for 30 min. without hitting a track then will just fall treed out of the blue. sometimes with a coon, sometimes a den tree. but havn't had a nice running track for a couple weeks now.

Same deal here. Some nights they seem to be moving good. Tree 4-5 coon and go home. Other nights we cant even get a strike. Very odd......... Jon

So you're saying I don't hunt as much as you?
I do have more then enough hunting spots to go to. Dave you should of been with me tonite. The trees were lit up, I've never heard this dog locate so many times before settling in on a tree. If I had your old Sassy female I would of cleaned house.(with a scorecard) It's like I told Erika over the phone, Its been a long time since I was in a spot like that where they were everywhere you looked. I would think it would of been an ideal spot to have a young dog in there. No roads around, and I'm the only one that's allowed to hunt there. The dog made 2 trees and I harvested 2 coon and called it a night.

we've been having it where 7 p.m. to midnight, we get maybe one or 2 coon, from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. we get 8 of em! so i'm guessing around my neck of the woods the early morning is the good hunting but i'd much rather be in by midnight. kinda sick of hunting till almost daylight!

Maybe? Some dogs are just better in certain conditions than others too. Couple months and maybe the roles will be reversed. Just as long as they're not only good with the leaves on....

First dump-coon. Then got questioned by a deer hunter that has permission to hunt that woods. Second dump got to pull my dog"s foot out of a foot trap. Kinda wrecked my mood. Cut him again on the coon that baffled him last night, only to be baffled again.. That coon has a thing for leaners.. We'll get him!! LOL
