I agree. Some dogs are lost when it comes to big country. If they are not walked to a bucket they can't tree a coon. I dont hunt that type of dog.
What are you suppose to do when you drive 6 hrs from home and your guide takes you to buckets? Withdraw? I think not.
What are you going to do after you drive 6 hrs to a hunt and you draw a very quick, very accurate walker female that wears you out. Over two drops with buckets (2 coon), then you go to game lands and she puts 2 more coon on you deep through the country? She ain't no pup and she just racked a score up on me. ,,,, I shook his hand and told him he had a Coondog. I also ask him if he knew where another one like her was.
I like to coon hunt and I like to competition hunt and i like seeing good dog work. Bottomline, competition hunting in NC, your going to draw out over buckets at some point. You got to have a dog that can handle all situations.
