RE: Best Coon Hound
Walkers are good dogs no doubt. There are good ones of every breed.What do you plan on doing with the dog. Pleasure hunting, competition hunting, or both? Are you going to just run coons or bobcats also? Check in the sporting dogs forum, there is a thread on there now about what kind of dogs people prefer. There are a few coon hunters over there.

The best coon hound is one that does not run trash, and quits barking when it's on private property LOL!!!!!! My dad always hunted with blueticks, and his buddies used them or walkers. There are good and bad in all of them.

RE: Best Coon Hound
Ive got a Walker dog and an English Redtick. But I have always wanted a Bluetick, just aint found one I could get yet. But the Walker dog and that English have done fine so far. The English has GREAT papers and is Nite Champ and 2 hunts into Grand Nite now. I got him but hes been on the box for a while since b4 I go thim. They need tuned up a bit, but I turned them out a few nights ago and they treed up fine.

RE: Best Coon Hound
just for pleasure hunting. I need a decent dog that will tree but has a nice bark to him just because the woods i go in are huge. If i were to walk one it would take me a day only in fall or winter because its a swamp. Or in wi now just because its so dry out
