There was a lot of floating timber and my guess is the coon ran over the floating timber and my dog swam along it to track the coon. You can see in the picture of the coon that it had not been swimming up to that point. Frito is one of those dogs that will get treed regardless of what he has to go through to do it. I don't expect him to die from old age if you know what I mean.

west virgina

can get tough, straight up we've had to pull ourselves up to the
tree. and yes, i agree those swamps can get rough also. We hunt
these mountains every night.

The worst place I ever drove to for a hunt was Trenton, Tenn. It was for American Redbone Days back in ("04" I think.) Late June and it was close to 90 degrees still when we were cutting dogs loose each night. I seen 1 coon that was treed over a feeder bucket the whole weekend. Nothing but cottonmouths and brushy river bottoms with water everywhere. If the dogs actually did get treed it would be a big cypress tree that you could'nt even see half of.
I've got it pretty good here in "Upstate" Southwestern Ny. (I've never even been to Ny city. lol.) All I hunt is big hardwoods. Some areas don't have any houses for miles and miles, but if the dogs end up a mile or 2 in, driving around won't get you any closer. I have over 10,000 acres of Stateland within 15 mins. from my house and I am just about the only one that coon hunts it. I've guided a lot of 5 or 6 coon scoring casts running just my stateland spots. (No feeders needed.) I probally have about another 3,000 acres of private land that I hunt too. We do have hills, tops, beaver swamps and some areas heavy with Pine or Hemlock trees to deal with if the dogs end up where we wish they had'nt. I'll take it though. No snakes or gators to worry about. The only things we got that might hurt a dog are Porcipines, Coyotes or Bear.

I did forget 1 thing that makes it more difficult to hunt coon around here than in most areas. That is all the lake effect snow we get here in Sw Ny. We're supposed to get a foot and a half of snow or more between tonight and tommorrow. Yes, this is a common occurance for this area too. Try running coon in 2 to 4 foot of snow. lol. They won't even leave thier dens unless we get a warm spell and the snow packs.

worst places to hunt

The HELL HOLE in South Carolina.If you go to the Grand American in Orangeburg just pray you dont go to this place. About the mountains in western N.C. hunt htem all the time.You have to have a real "Coon Dog" to hunt he mountains.

Posted by jerry chapman on 11-17-2008 03:34 AM:

I'd have to say the strip pits in Kansas.....during the spring and summer the honey suckle takes over in those old strip pits and its hands and knees at times...and its often filled iwth water and you never know if you can walk around them or turn and find a different way out....the strip pits are left over from the mining days and there not fun!!!

2nd would be some of the hills in Arkansas.....like a dummy i went hunting with Ron Roughton one night and decided to wear ten lb. ankle weights(for a work out).....let me tell you,that old man can walk like a mule.....and we did!!!

the mountains of pike county ky rattlesnakes and copperheads galore in the summer very few coon and only two ways to go straight up or straight down . most places on the garmin show bottom to be 1000 feet and top anywhere from 2000 to 2500 depending where ure at

Posted by steve5005 on 11-17-2008 04:23 AM:

CRAP HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a drop about a mile from the house 9 out of 10 dumps there you'll get a quick coon. But I'm telling you that one night every once in awhile you don't hit one right away your in for it. Nothing but maltiflower and brush so thick your just about ready to turn around and leave the dogs. Its old strip mine so its nothing but up and down steep banks with this greasy clay. IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been down there and I wouldn't cut a dog in there for nothing. Where I was at you would of needed climbing gear!

Posted by Dan Dogs on 11-17-2008 05:22 AM:

i think everybody has a hunting spot they call the HELL HOLE...i have spots that are so thick with mutiflora rose that the rabbits stay out of...

I try to stay out of it if possible but you go where the coon takes you.

.................gotta go along with this gentleman.....................talk about mountains all you want.............I've hunted everywhere........and NO WHERE is as bad as the Pocosin area of eastern North Carolina.........NOWHERE.............it can take you an hour to machete your way in to some dogs treed 200 yards off the road...............the most miserable, thick brush you can imagine..........for MILES.........except for the areas where the water is neck deep.............and there seams to be one of them ditches every quarter mile.....lol......and all this while dodging an unbelievable amount of cottonmouths.........

We did'nt have any snow 24 hrs. before I took this picture. There's about a foot and a half now. The hunting just got pretty tough around here. lol.

Pretty close to hunting here in barbourville ky so I do feel your pain lol Hard earned coon thats for sure.

Back in 1977 I was alone, lost, and up to my neck in gator and snake infested waters on the Fort Benning Army reservation, near Columbus, Georgia, with my gun and wallet held over my head so I didn't get them wet. I wasn't real partial to that type of terrain. We freeze our buns off here in central New York State and have steep hills, but no snakes, chiggers, gators, and other creatures that bite you, eat you, or sting you.
