Slick treeing question.

I found a 3 year old walker forsale. Hes bread good and comes from different lines of champions. Ive hunted around this dog since he was 1 year old and he was a good dog then. The boy hunted him all summer long this year and seen over a hundred coons. Opening night he slick treed 5 times in a row and he got mad and parked him. Hes not been hunted in 2 months. I dont know what happened to him, but do you all think he will get over it?

I havent been around dogs long, but his dad said he had her kinneled up beside a dog that was in heat and he thought that might have made him act crazy,but i dont know.

sometime shooting too many coon out is as bad as not shooting any. i get a dog slick treeing. i send him on to get right or i let him hit the road. no one likes walking to a empty tree. 5 in a row is tough to handle. hope he snaps out of it soon.

If he leashed him up took him back to the truck and went and dumped him again Instead of looking up seeing a slick tree and makeing him go and finish the track. That is probubly the problem if there is no health issue.

To many coon only comes into play if they are fighting the coon.

i had a dog and the more coon i shot out the worse he looked. i say teach the dog that this is not going to cut it and go finish what he started. many times they will fall treed about a 100 yrds or less. they just pulled up to early or they may just be flat out lieing.

I often wonder if these are the same type dog, that people are calling super intelligent and getting on here and bragging about how smart they are?

I wont condemn the dog for one night, but any hound that makes 5 slicks in a row, has a problem and it probbly stemmed from his genetics, contrary to all the people who think its somethin we did to the dog, i.e. shining tree too long, too much encouragement at tree or killing too many coon to the dog. Just my 2 cents and thats prolly all its worth.

.

At the start of season there were quite a few leaves left. Is it possible that there were coons there and the guy just did not see them?
There have been two instances in the last few weeks, with leaves mostly off, that I almost gave up on finding the coon and had they not moved around some, I would have never found them.
Keep in mind that I have excellent eyesight and a very good light.
I pointed the coons out to the guy I was hunting with and he never could see them until they hit the ground.

Interesting point, so maybe all my hunting buddies over the years who put up with slick treeing, idiot, tree liars, had eyesight problems. This explains some things.............LOL!!!!

Alright, I called the owner up and asked if I could try him out. Said sure so I went and got him. First drop I went to a place thats been ramsacked. Turned him loose and never herd a peep out of him. Picked him up 30 minutes later and went bout 2 miles up the road. Cut him loose and he went 100 yards from the truck and treed. I couldnt believe it, but he had a coon. Shot it out and loaded up. He struck out of the box on the way out so I casted him again. He treed about 30 minutes later on a HUGE sycamore tree that the whole side had been broke out of years ago. Never seen that coon, but it couldve been in the hollowed out part, dont know. Casted again and he treed about another 30 minutes later on a hollow red oak. Didnt see the coon, but there was a hole bout the size of a soccer ball about 15 foot off the ground and I could see the tree was hollow, So I dont know on it either. Casted again and hes still treed cause he ran on some other land and hes behind a house and I dont wanna get shot at, so cant say for that tree either.

I aint got nothing to loose by trying him, so Im gonna hunt him the rest of the week.

Could be. Im just going on what he said. I have a hard time finding them too. Got a 21 volt light and good eyes and still cant see them sometimes till they hit the ground.

You're right bout that! A hollow is a hollow and a slick is a slick. Directly, if he ever gets to treeing up a pine that they could make a powerpole out of, trying a dog is a whole lot better than an owner "seeing" a hollow in that.

LOL, I would call this dog super intelligent. Dont even need a dog lead. Tell him to get in and hes in. Tell him get up and he gets on the rig box. Tell him dead and hes done and ready to go again. If hes treed in the rough and he can hear you, he can be called off the tree. Seen him do it quite a few times. Tell him behind me and hell follow you out of the woods. He minds better than my kids lol..... but, can he tree a coon????
