Started a pup this year that turned out to be a decent cooner by the time the bad weather hit?? Just curious to see what kind of % we have.

Ron, I started one, but, the decent is nowhere near the word I'm thinking of....only been to the woods 5 times. We got about 3" and still spittin" snow.

I've started 2 but I wouldn't call them anything more than just started. I didn't get them hunted like I usually like to do until they were 11 mos. old or so.

They are 13 mos. old now and are showing improvement every night in the woods. The male is running and treeing consistently with an old dog and the female has treed a couple by her own and has split treed.

Started 3 one was 8 mo. old when I got it and it didn't make it.

One was 11 mo. old and he is running and treeing coon by himself real well. Still need lots of experience but does good and getting better all the time.

One was 2-3 months old ( don't remember for sure) but he has just started running and treeing his own coon and he just started running and treeing his own coon the last couple of days. He just turned 6 months old.

Oh and I just got a 4 weak old and she isn't doing much yet but I am really happy with what I see so far.

Bought Ellie last Feb . at 7 or 8 months old. Perfect age for the spring and summer training. Couldn't be more pleased with her perfomance this fall. Time in the woods will continue to improve her performance.

She is a " KEEPER"

Started 4 pups rangeing from 5 mths old to 9 mths old.
The 5 month old impressed me the most.
Took to it like a 1.5 yr. old. I started to cut him loose by himself.He by far surpassed to other females by a long shot.

I started my dogs who will be 4 this coming May in December-January-February.... They both were treeing coons on their own by March. One more consistently than the other, but they were both doing the job in cold weather and snow.

When I talk about start... I mean drags, caged coon, and running with older hounds.

Some say you should NEVER start a dog in the winter, however, I had some pretty good success...

One of the best traits the dogs have is that they can do it the same in ALL kinds of weather. I personally believe that has to do with starting them in some of the roughest...


Just my 2 cents tho...
