My guess is similar to Lakeland Kennels but here goes. Spring an Fall accuracy can usually be diagnosed by these factors (in my opinion)
#1- Tracking conditions are usually more ideal at these times of the year. (good moisture content in the ground & cool air holding the scent low)
#2- Coon are weak in the spring from a hard winter and don't have the strength or extra energy to do all that is possible to get away from the hound. they take the easy way out and simply climb a tree.
#3- Coon are over weight in the fall and too lazy to exert the extra energy needed get away so again they simply climb a tree.
After eliminating these factors breeding comes into play. These dogs are a little more wired to tree than they are to track, thus the first or second tree that has good scent on it is usually where they stay.
Winter and summer are similar is some respects. As both seasons, when sever cause the coon to not move much, (extreme heat/extreme cold)
Thus your accuracy will surely decrease when tracking is less than ideal, coon are not moving far from their dens, and they are in fighting shape, an waiting on an ole hound to challange them to a race.
