Most dogs will emit a long, distinct bay upon striking a trail, and will continue to bay the entire time they are tracking the raccoon. [8] [9] The dog's voice may change timbre depending on how fresh or "hot" a scent is. [9] Unlike some breeds of hunting dog that use sight to locate their prey, coonhounds use their sense of smell alone. [10]
A game call is a device that is used to mimic animal noises to attract or drive animals to a hunter. [1] Animal species attracted to game calls include deer, turkey, ducks, geese, moose, elk, raccoons, wild pigs, coyotes, bears, wolves, cougars, foxes, quails, squirrels, chipmunks, and crows.
Foundation dogs were chosen for a keen sense of smell, the ability to track an animal independent of human commands and, most importantly, to follow an animal both on the ground and when it took to a tree. [2] Bloodhounds specifically were added to many coonhound lines to enhance the ability to track. Coonhounds can hunt individually or as a pack.
