Since you have hound experience it is a natural instinct for a hound to hunt. You just need to teach them what to run. I would do a little scouting in your hunting areas and find some coon sign. Take your dogs hunting there to see if they will run one. Maybe even put a feeder out to get some hot tracks for them. Good Luck.
