Young dog's first trip

I have a young Walker female 1.5yr old.
Last night was her first time being turned out.
The spot was loaded with fresh scent. I have a cell camera at this spot so i know coons are coming every night.
She went straight to spot and went to smelling around going back and forth wimpering and wagging her tail. She keep working back and forth the wood line doing this. I walked in to woods trying to get her to work in alittle deeper. She started ranging out little deeper. I backed out and let her hunt.she comes out woods and works back and forth bout 20yds at feild edge and woods.keeps throwing her head up and trys to wind so hard she kinda snorts. Then she goes in woods comes back to same spot,throws head up again trys to wind and barks a couple times heads in woods bought 5yds and works back and forth 10-15 yds then i stop hearing her move so i turn my light on and she's laying down in the leaves like shes camping out for the night. Have any of you ever experienced this. I'm new to this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

she doesn't know what to do, what have you been doing with her since she was a puppy?

Got injured at work last year and wasn't able to do anything with her.just now able to get out and go.

Let her know it's coon your after. Turn a cage coon loose, or drag a road kill for her. Something to let her understand why ya took her out there. Good luck and have fun.
