I thought everything was better in the South!!LOL.

No, these southern dogs are worse. Way worse. It's a wonder they can find there own food bowl by themselves. Or else they could tree 8 single coons in 2 hours.

I didn't know we had 8 coons in the south!!

That's what I like about hunting here in MO, if you hunt all year you get:

Hot, humid, dry, wet, cold, frozen, snow, ice, fencerows, big timber, swamps, brush, cornfields, pasture, hills, flat, rolling, rivers, creeks, lakes.

Dogs get a variety and those that can tree coons in all these places and conditions I call a coondog.

Same across the river in IL. By the way because of the fact that there are no coons down south, I'm surprised those southern dogs even knows what one smells like!! LOL

im gonna try not to offend anybody but down here the dogs have to use their nose up north they could use their eyes or thier paws they are almost walking on them. But i agree with POUNDER

Posted by nate m on 01-23-2009 12:37 AM:

come on guys you know these big hardwood forest are the ruffet huntind in the world exspecialy in october. so cold you have to wear a long sleave shirt. and you better own a good paire of walking shoose. because there ant no swamps. dont need no dam snake proof chaps neither.and cricks that are about ankle deep. sow you good old boys stay down south. cause the hunting up here would just wreck you. for that southern hunting. lol

I have seen to many times where dogs from up north come down here and won't hunt or get on an ole armidillo and get treed in a hole in the ground. I tell you another thing for these 100% accurate dogs come down here and that percentage will drop gauranteed!! I know there are some dogs up there that are as good as they come but if u want to test your dog come on down south to some woods decorated by hurricane Katrina and you will understand why we feel the way we do about the big hunts being up north where the same kinda dog wins everytime.

Bring a Northern dog down here and I dont care how straight he is he WILL get an armadillo no if ands or butts about it. Anyone from the north willing to take that challenge just let me know come on down and Ill put you in some thick coon and I bet he gets in a hole with an ole' army tank in it. Then Ill take my dog up North and he may slick tree but he wont run nothing else. Ive seen this a million times. My dog may slick tree but itll be a tree where a coon was, cant slick tree an army tank. I do have a question for you northern boys, do you guys have persimon trees up there?

I have hunted up there before and well every tree I looked up there was at least one set of coon eyes looking at me.

We got persimmons and one place I hunt, my young dogs track straight to a persimmon tree and loose that coon every time. Then they go on hunting and that dang coon gets down before I can get there. Then I bring the dogs back and cut em loose close to the persimmon tree and they usually open and drive the track stright to a den tree. It's happened at least a dozen times in the same tree in the same place. Smart old coon....

Good Reading Entertainment!

Look at some of the recent world hunt winners. Seems like I remember dogs from the north being able to win in the south and dogs from the south being able to win in the north! LOL Go figure! I would guess probably 9 out of 10 dogs will require an adjustment period when they are taken from the terrain/coon population they are used to being hunted in and turned loose in different terrain/coon population. The one GLARING fact no one can deny is EVERYONE has a different interpretation of what a "coondog" is. One mans cull is another mans keeper. I guess that is what keeps this world of dogs & hunters spinning round & round. I wonder what happens when you cross a dog from the north on to a dog from the south? Do you get mid-western dogs? While I ponder these thoughts, I will continue my never ending search for one of the year round 95% accurate coon dogs that many seem to have already aquired! LOL

When you find that "ONE" I bet there's two of em at the same place.

southern dogs

come to south georgia let me put you in a beaver pond or flooded swamp off the altamaha river, huntin wild coon in the rut in or around running water you will see why a COONDOG in the south is a COONDOG anywhere. we hunt 5 and 6 thousand acres of solid timber mostly management land during deer season, when you can consistently tree coons in there you know you got somethin you can take ANYWHERE!!!!! we also hunt some branches but those are the pup trainer coons they never pose to much of a challenge except in the rut you may get a couple of crazy hour plus long races but not often... i believe because we hunt in the worse conditions down here it make it easier for our hounds to succeed in the choice locations where its not nearly as difficult to get under a coon...
