IF YOU COULD HUNT ANYWHERE FOR COON IN THE 48 STATES WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHY?? I LIVE IN SW WISCONSIN AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE BIGGEST AND SMARTEST COON I FEEL IN ALL OF THE 48 STATES, I HAVE THE WISCONSIN AND MISSISSIPPI RIVER WITH IN 20 MINUTES OF ME AND I EVEN HUNT WHERE THEY MEET, AND ITS SOME NICE HUNTING AND IS HARD TO FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO HUNT THAN THIS LAND, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GO DOWN TO THE OZARKS WITH MY 2 REDBONES AND CHASE EM AROUND FOR A WHILE. I THINK A LOT HAS GOT TO DO WITH WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS, THATS WHAT GOT ME HUNTING RED DOGS, AND COON ALL TOGETHER. JUST SOMETHING ABOUT IT WOULD SEND CHILLS OVER ME WHEN THEY STRUCK AND TREED THERE.......MAYBE SOMEDAY.....

I would like to try Goldthwaite TX. I heard that the hunter's there are mean and the hounds are some good ones.

Somewhere up north, where folks talk about coons as big as bear cubs. I live in N. Florida and have treed my fair share, but 18 pounds is the biggest I've harvested.

Anywhere there's a reasonable coon population, big, clean hardwoods, nice ATV paths all around, no grumpy landowners, houses or hoodlums. Many thousands of acres with one gate and a 2 mile long driveway and I'm the only one with a key.

Any area that I've never hunted in, and that has some coon. I'd like to hunt every place there is to hunt by the time it is all over with. I've hunted in 10 states, so that still leaves 38 more to go, and Canada too. Wait, Canada has several provinces that have coon, so I guess I have a really long way to go.

I would love to get mine out in Western NY around the Bergen Swamps and even a bit down around Geneseeo. I deer hunted the corn fields there quite a bit and the Coon trails on the field edges looked like hog paths. Beat right down to mud!!! Have seen my share of 30 lb coons there as well.

Well, the North Carolina coon placed 47th overall in states that tested coons using the California Standard Achievement Test and they average around 11lbs. That should make them the dumbest and pretty small.

For treeing coons I prefer ANYWHERE North of I-70. For testing dogs, Tim's Creek is the place to be.

In the most terrible, god-awful place in the south just one time, just so I can say I've been there and treed a coon.

Yeah, I forgot about that hell-hole.

Nothing like listening to your pride and joy drive a track through 40 acres of solid briars and crap in November only to come up on a house cat. Boy what a blast that was.

When are we going again????
