My best Coon hound was a Blue tick.
The only problem with him was he couldn't dispatch a wounded coon and ended up with bite marks on his face and ears.
He was a very good treeing dog and if he barks sooner or later it's treed.
My coon hunting ended when someone(I'm positive) picked him up while treeing I had just skinned and carry five Coons by then and just didn't make it to the tree on time before someone else did. I never saw him again. We had about 5 yrs of hunting together and every night was a riot with that Blue tick.
I hope you have good hunts with yours.
