i would hunt him by hisself for a while until he matures more, when he gets a little older and matures some he want need a leader cause he will be the leader.

if hes treeing you a lot of coons you got the hard part done, give him a little time and let him build his confidence up by treeing his own coons and i bet it wont be long before when you cut him loose he will have one thing on his mind and thats to put a coon up a tree no matter with or with out his friends.

Let another dog get treed.Have someone turn him lose if he comes into the other dogs tree kick his ##*%* and make him go on about his own buisness... Repeat as needed...I'v see this method work...It sounded like BS to me but the proof was there.. |

Well toe cutter the leader could be slick treeing for instance and my dog would just be hanging around there close to the tree knowing good and well the coons not there but he wont go on |

Thanks toe cutter I have come realize that he's just a late bloomer because I be hunted him only by himself for the past 3 weeks and I've seen 14 coons out of 16 trees! So I gunna keep on hunting by myself till im completely sure his maturity is there to get it done in these comp hunts. All in all thanks again |

To kinda take this in a different direction, I have a young redbone who wont hunt with other dogs no matter what they're doing, he's always off workin on his own. Should I start huntin him by himself or does it really matter? |
