I have a 9-10 month old walker female she goes crazy over a cage Coon but once I let the coon out and it gets close to the wood and a cut her she stops barking and will run the track good n smell up the right tree but never make a sound after i cut her. I've tryed hanging a trap up with a Coon in it and tryed hanging a dead Coon up but she just trust to run up the tree instead of barking. I dont want to ruin her with to many cage Coon but would like to see her treeing good before sending her off at night. Any advice on wut to try next would be greatly appropriated

I had the Coon above my head and im 6 foot so I never thought shed try and jump for it but I was wrong and I guess I just was wanting to see her treeing a Coon before I started running her at night but I know little to nothing about training hounds so thank you for your advice

Thank you for thanking me. Most on here think a silent night go yonder that picks a big tree is the thing to have. So don't credit me telling you about a 2 inch sapling that I use . Train her to find a great big old leafy tree that just "might " contain a hollow. LOL and and LOl and LMBOLOF.

No I've seen enough slick treeing dogs in the few night hunts I've been in but asshe long as there a Coon up the tree I don't care if its up a twig or the biggest tree in the woods

I been planning on putting a feeder out I figured It could help put her on a easy hot track until she got a few under her belt then do away with it

You won't make a coondog in the daylight. She knows what a coon is so start hunting her at dark. The caged coon thing is way overrated and no kind a gauge for what kind of track or tree dog your pup will be. If she has any kind of TREE BlOOd at all, she'll make some kind of treedog. It may not happen immediately, but it's not supposed to. HUNT THE BEST AREAS YOU CAN. DON'T HUNT HER WITH ANYTHING THAT RUNS TRASH. DON'T SICK HER ON TREES. If you don't have anything decent to hunt her with, hunt her by herself. Charge that light and cut her loose where you know there are some coons. You'll be proud when she gets struck, comes treed, and them eyes are glowing.

The best advice i can give a new hunter is to not start out with a pup tryig to be a trainer. But since most newbies start out with a pup anyway the second best advice i can give is to not get caught up thinking their is a right or wrong way to start a pup because they are all different in what it takes to let them know what we are doing out there walking around in the dark. At about 6 months i usually drag a caged coon through the yard where the pup can see it and watch to see if the pup is inteested enough or mature enough to act aggressive towards it. Beyond that simple start its all a matter of figuring out what that indivdual needs to move to the next level. Sounds from your original post as if your dog is ready to be taken to the woods at night where you can hopefully find an easy coon to get to the next level. Good luck.
