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!

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.
