Tips on my coon dog

I would recommend buying john wicks encyclopedia on tree dogs. Some great info in that book on hounds. It's an easy read as well.

Hounds typically take longer to mature and turn on than cur dogs. I wouldn't rush it with him. TR gave u some good advice. Be careful not to let him get whipped at a young age. I would also be careful about what other dogs I hunted him with. Trashy dogs and Tree Fighters have set many a good prospects back and ruined many more. Try to be careful shakin coons out or shootin em out near water. They'll drown a dog quick.
