Southeast KY and northern Virginia....

I just got back from traveling around SE KY and N Va...and I am wondering.....how in the h##l do you guys hunt down there? I mean, everywhere, and I mean everywhere, I saw what looked to be a huntable woods, it was straight up and down. Pretty, pretty country, but steep.
How would one of your typical hunts go?

Start em up the creek, they hit a coon track and 9 times out of 10 they end up treed closer to the top of the hill than the bottom. Have to be in pretty good shape to hunt down here. I'm usually wore out and ready to go home after the 2nd tree unless we get an easy one next to the creek.

There are some coons but not a lot, on a good night you might tree 2 or 3 but will also have some nights without a coon. This time of the year you will tree most of the coon around the ridgetops as they are in the acorns.

Like Virgil said, right now isn't to bad as most of the coons are on the ridgetops eating acorns, but it ain't nothing around here to turn them up a drain, and get them 600-800 yards away treed at 1000-1100 ft elevation!

drop em on the feeders or just find water and drop them out you kinda just get use to all the walking and incline..

I hunt mostly off a Polaris Ranger.Get permission off of landowners that will let you use Atv,s or Uv,s that have old logging roads or existing roads.Dont be shy to ask them if they are any old roads that just need the underbrush cleaned out that you may do that.You would be surprised how much time that cuts out on the walking.1100 feet aint even start to the hills down there Tubz.

Yea i gotta a friend that i played football in college with for a couple of years and he brought a dog up that was the real deal and we treed some coons. We got into a hike one night and he said that if this is all he had to hunt he would quit. He's hunted in Indiana up there with a peanut dog from fort wayne some and i've been wantin to hunt in thick coons and easy walking all my life and only done it a couple time.

LOL I am this friend and it is rough hunting in alot of areas, if you got a coon dog you can tree some coons but if you aint packin your not going to tree very many and when you do tree em you best have your boots laced or know a good road to em cause its gonna be long and steep. There is NO flat land at all and the coons know where they need to go. I had a good time hunting there the few months i did heavily but was glad to see the east tennessee valley when i got done, and we have alot more hills mtns and ridges than most places do but we cant touch east ky
