We coonhunted all my life and still do. Love to hear a hound strike up an old cold trail and work it up to where you would swear that ol' dog was lookin at him. A then when he forces that coon to climb to hear a definite locate and to change over to a steady chop or to even get to hear a dog tree with a dying bawl and to be able to pick out your dog from several dogs in a pack . Go up and find a coon looking at you with disgust and then to reward that dog with a coon squalled out to fight to its dying squall or whip all the dogs and walk off.(That's another story) Or sometimes we would jump the coon out and hold the dogs to give him a little start esp. with young dogs. And then turn em loose to try and retree that coon. Daddy always said if you had a dog that would tree a coon that had been jumped out after being treed twice ,then you could brag about having a real coondog. Anybody should realize that hounds were bred for pleasure hunting. Cur dogs are meat dogs. They are silent they were bred that way. They hunt different. I enjoy hunting with any dog that does what it's bred and trained to do .
