for there sense of smell and tracking abiltys
You know that camouflage is important when hunting. And so coon hunters have developed that breed of dog having stealth, agility, profile and sense for coon hunting. Once upon a coon, they sound the alarm. Now find a picture of a coon and hopefully you won't be mistaking a coon for a coon dog. But don't be persuaded by me; many hound dogs can be viciously trained to hunt for coons.

A blood hound is the best hunting dog because it has a great nose & it also runs fast.
a walker coon hound would not run at all,,,,he wouldnt be a full blooded walker if he did any running at all,,,,,,he would be a running coon hound.....

You usually hunt coon at night with a coon dog and a spot light, and you usually hunt birds and deer during the day. I LOVE DEER HUNTING!! :)
You can, it just evolved from the Brit's expression "riding the hounds" for fox hunting and the hound type is best to use because of keener sense of smell..
From googling his picture, he just looks like a generic hound dog mix. Coon hound, mayhaps? Either way, I don't think he's really meant to be a specific breed. Just a hound dog.
You kill a coon with a dog you already have or if you dont have a dog you go out in the middle of the night and shoot one, then you dont feed your dog for a day and drag the coon all around and make your dog trail it than put the dead coon in a tree if your dog is hungry enough it will look up the tree for the coon and bark at it after it barks for a good amount of time give him the coon to eat and every hunt he will want to eat the coon and continue to tree.
using a hound to lead you to your prey, it is commonly used in cougar hunting because the dog will tree the cougar
a red bone is a dog and a raccoon is a rodent
