My analysis of the scenarios…

The caged coon…pup1 is using the wind currents to find game…he also has some grit to him and it seems he will have what it takes to kill a coon once he is mature enough to handle one…he seems to be displaying natural talents…did not need any coaxing just set up the situation for the pups…
pup2 is not showing interest at this time but does not mean he will not be a good hunting dog one day…

The feeding squirrel under the oak tree…pup1 shows that he is not a follower…as soon as he smells squirrel he opens with excitement…hes moving fast and circling trying to locate and with his head up while circling…puts his nose down once or twice to verify but someday this pup will be running a track with his head up…this pup will make a hunting dog and it is all natural inclination…he just needs to be taken to the woods…this pup will one day make it look easy striking what he is trained to hunt…I would show this pup a few coons before I hunted him…I would also start it with a solid coon dog…let the coon dog strike and turn the pup in…this way he can start with a good chance to be a solid coon dog sooner than later…because once he knows the game he will be a pleasure to hunt…
NATURAL HUNTING DOG…I believe was a pup born with the right set up in the brain…

But Mr Reuben--

You know that some idiot will take this # 1 pup with all his God given natural ability and screw him up by trying to make him "independent".

I'll stick with natural any day…just a solid hunting dog that can get it done…
