There's a lot of good information on here. I would start by reading some basic obedience books. Ceasers millan has good books, the art of raising a puppy, by the monks of skete is also a good book. Many coon hunters couldn't train a dog to save there life. So before you can train and understand a hunting dog, you need to understand a regular dog. Basic obedience is a cake walk compared to training a hound. Training a coonhound is a lot is very time consuming and requires a great deal of patience. You better off saving up and buying a broke hound that may have no mouth, or maybe is slow hunter. Some nice dogs can be bought cheap because they have one or 2 flaws that keep them from winning in the hunts, but can still be a lot of fun to hunt. In the mean time you can work on the pup you have. Get on the united kennel club (UKC). Here in the fall, the hunts will start up. Check the list of events under coon hound nite hunts. They will be posted towards then of October. Find the closest club and show up at one of the night hunts and ask for the master of hounds, and ask him to spectate. He will most likely introduce you to one of the more helpful guys at the club, be respectful and observe quietly, and I'm sure one or 2 of the guys will be happy to take you out again. You can also post in the ukc page, for local hunters, that site gets a little more traffic, even though this is the better forum. Best of luck pm if you need anything.

I'm sure you can, hunts are a great place to meet people, however during the actual hunt guys can take pretty serious, however before and after every one is pretty friendly.
