will he bark until you get there or are ya finding him while your walking in the woods? my guess is alot of dogs would walk around the tree if they thought they could see the coon. my dogs have treed very few coons where they could see it up a tree. have you worked that dog on cage coon before, they will do a lot of sight treeing if you work them to much on a cage coon. ive never helped a dog by letting them bark at a cage before
. i hope your dog works out for you.
