What do you think the average age of the winner is? Under 5 years old? Over 5 years old? What age group has the higher percentage of overall winner of this hunt. 7 years old to 9 years old? Just wondering..

I looked this up a while back and was surprised. I think the average around 7 years old.

So if the older dogs win more often, l think l need to change my way of thinking.

Can not speak for everyone, but I think a dog peaks at around 7 years old, my experience has been so anyway. I love a real coon dog age 7 and in good health. Dave

The young dog usually has the ability but still makes rookie mistakes. It takes a lot longer to finish a dog than most like to admit.

I’d think 6 to 7 years old something about a dog when they get that age they just have everything figured out
