The other day i took my wifes pet down to the pond about 2pm to cool off, he is a year and half old black and tan. He played in the water for a bit and while running the bank he struck and left out. I thought he was running a deer and really kinda tickled he was hunting at all. Well a few minutes later he fell treed down in the creek, i called b.s! But sure enough he was treed on an ole holler tree. I eased up a tree next to it and the first spilt in it was a coon. So that brings to to what id like to know, when every thing is right, how long is a track workable?

he might have winded the coon up there, or as coon can come from a den tree in the daaytime to get a drink of water. to answer your question, I dont know how old a track would be for a dog with a good nose to track it. thats good question though!

chigger i really dont know to be honest, but ive treed coons that were asleep in the tree when i got there and the coon was so sound asleep he never even woke up, but i couldnt tell how long he was there or how long it was when he was on the ground.

how could you tell the rascal was asleep?

they was curled up in a ball sitting on a limb with their eyes closed never moveing a hair with no leaves on the tree.
