My 10 month old female blue tick treed her first coon last night. This is my first coon dog so I have been very worried she would not turn out (everyone kept telling me that not all dogs make coon dogs). She has been having problems going out very far she was max go out 50 yards so someone told me just take her out and sit on the tailgate I knew this would be boring but I wanted my pup to get every chance she could. So after a hour of her doing her same old thing she trotted off about 120 yds in the woods and after checking a few trees in the area she treed I'm pretty sure the coon had been in the tree since we got there so it was a cold trail but I'm very proud of my puppy I wouldnt trade anything for that moment I just hope there is many more to come!

Congrats!! I'm having the same problem with my pup now, only going about 50 yards out. Think I'm just gunna sit in the woods for a while with her and see if she will go out farther

let me know how that goes hoping to have a good weekend suppose to finally be cold down here

congrats!! my 6 month old pup will go run & tree her own , but she goes out further than a 6 month old should..thats my problem.

how far is she going out? and do you think she is passing tracks up?

My pup was like that when she was real young at about 7 months she would go real far out but I got hurt and couldn't take her out for a month and after I did she went dumb it seemed and now won't go far out

according to the tracking collar she has went out 523 yards by herself...then when shes heading back she strikes and trees...maybe its just the puppy in her?

I dont really see a problem with that some dogs just go in straight lines and others do circles i guess if you wanted to change the way she hunts maybe hunt her with another dog that hunts the way you like.

she dont bother me, as long as she does what she is supposed to do.lol

Went out last night, surprisingly she took off and treed one! Hopefully she keeps progressing

mine seems to be doing about the same i just think she needs to mature some more
