My favorite is blue ticks though I've never owned any coon hounds I've run w a bunch. I just love the big bawl mouth on em.
Walkers as great as they can be seem more trashy though it could only be the strains ive run with. One minute running a bear, next a coon, rabbit, moose, deer, etc. I've only only owned beagles for hounds n if they weren't straight theyd live elsewhere. Not cursing anyone's favorite just explaining why blue ticks to me trump walkers which are a second fav to me.
