I would guess that already tough hunting in the lowlands of Miss and La got even tougher after Katrina blew thru there. i imagine the woods took a beating.

Hate to tell ya but that is pretty good huntin there compared to lots of places.

My tops would be the mountains of Tn/NC/VA/WVA/Ky.

Then I would also include those places in Fl/La/Ms/Ar with swamps so big the dogs gotta swim from tailgate to tree, no dry ground to hunt and you need a mechetti to chop through it just to get to the dogs.

Only reason I got them places second is cause they got way more coon and at least back home you need a machetti in some places and it's straight up and down LOL.

I bet it would be tough in the Rockys too, they are real mountains.

Worst hunt!

Western Tennesee in the middle of summer is the worst hunting I've experienced when hunting in different states around the US. Not because the conditions were ruff, but simply because of lack of coon. Went down there years back for American Redbone Days and only seen 1 coon in 3 nights of hunting and that was over a feeder. I'm pretty sure theres more cottonmouths then coon there. lol.

i've hunted the hills of alabama and i didn't like it. climbing them and then sliding down the other side. stumbling over so many rocks, not knowing where to step without falling. then there's the ticks and brairs.
i hunt the swamps and brush of eastern nc now. i don't like the deep water. when you walk in you don't know if you're going to need knee boots or chest waders. the snakes aren't a big problem because they are usually around the edge of the water or on mounds of dirts or whatever. in the summer it's so hot or humid, bugs of everykind and brush so thick you can't cut your way through by yourself. i think the hills are worse.

I look at some states that have hunts everyweekend and think that would be nice but im sure with that many people running hounds it gets tougher to find a coon to tree.


Jake it seems every time I guide for the big hunts and I draw out nothern and mid west dogs our bays and big deep wet swamps really put it on them fair weather dogs. Every now and again you will get one that don't let it bother him/her. I wish we could find them 2 coons in our tree's. Seems your poor hunting with 2 looking down is better than any where I have seen around my parts here in the low country coastal S.C. Not to mention lots of posioness snakes and gators that could swallow me. Swamps that will take your boots right of your feet with ever step from being so boggy. Bays that are so thick with bushes and briars you can't see the top of the tree the dogs tree'd on. We don't see much snow but the ice gets pretty thick on the water from time time. Oh yeah the bugs every kind of blood eating bug God made lives in my hunting club...lol Now all that said I still wouldn't want to climb mountains or deal with deep snow.


Posted by Chris Sterrett on 02-25-2010 06:06 PM:

I know some places people hunt including some myself here in Florida that will make alot of coonhunters quit, especially during summer months.

Some places have sand gnats so bad you can`t spray enough to keep them from biting you. A good long mile walk through a briar thicket in the middle of the summer is always fun. Watching where you step in some of these places is not an option, you just step and hope there is not a rattler or if around water a cotton mouth not laying there. Also in these spots with a good amount of water there is alot of gators hanging around in places. If you get in a beaver pond that when you take a step carefully and see it bubbling up 10 feet ahead of you it can be stressful. U better have a hunting buddy with you because it could be like quick sand in there and you may not get out alone if you step in the right spot. I can go on and on about the bull crap you sometimes have to put up with.

I try to avoid alot of these places as much as possible though.

I guess when when you get right down to it that I AM A SERIOUS CANDY A$$!!! No way would you get me coon huntin in snake country! I used to go deer huntin in Georgia and North Carolina but gave it up due to snakes and gators. My wife and I are planning to relocate and Kentucky was one of our choices but NO WAY! Hills or mountains, NO PROBLEM! Snakes, PROBLEM!! A fella told me one night in Kentucky that if you smell cucumbers that you are probably near rattlesnakes, all I could smell was human poop!
