I’m not a big fan of deep and lonely, I’ve enjoyed being that “dog” sometimes but I think it really messes up a good hunt often. What I want is one that that try’s to find a coon to tree every minute that it’s loose. No running from others, running junk or making slicks. Just treeing coons! With that said I think a dog needs to know what kinda tracks it can handle and seek those out. Some dogs can take a old track and handle it easily, some need a hot one. IMO a dog that can take the first track it finds and tree it easily , it will win and be a joy to hunt. We’ve all seen a dog try to do something that it can’t do well..... I believe the biggest difference in what I like to compete with and what I would use to “take fur” with is just the hunt style. If I am trying to catch coons I would like one that doesn’t hustle past coons as much. I’m trying to catch them, not beat the clock.
I think what u are calling the “meat dog” can and will win a bit more often with these rule changes. The recut will be big now. I’ve often said if a dog would hunt with speed, into the wind cutting and slashing through a woods that it would be hard to handle in a cast.
