It seems that my post about "The Best Big Game Picture" is still going well. I thought a Post about the Toughest place that you hunt might prove interesting as well.
I have hunted in 39 states and I know that there are tough conditions everywhere. Lets see yours.

Everyone is SHY <LOL>
Here are some pics of the toughest place that I hunt while I am in Indiana.
BIG MARSH anywhere from a foot of water to DEEP water, Stinking, Nasty Mud, that is forever DEEP. These mash areas are so bad that some areas you just can't get through.

I've only seen one dog that could consistantly tree coons in there in over 25 years of huntng. You can always get one struck , but getting one treed is another story. LOL
I don't go in there as much as I did when I was younger , but every now and then when someone tells me what a good dog they have , well , you know. LOL
Some of the old beaver ponds and tag-alder swamps we bear hunt in get pretty tough too , but not "that" tough. LOL

Sam,
When I graduated high school , back in 1978 , I went down to my dads friends place in Wharton. ( He used to come up and go bear hunting with us. )
One of the things I remember most is going 4-wheeling through those hills following the power lines. What a great time.
Spent 10 days down there. Nicest place a person could ever hope to visit. Pretty country and great people.
Not a place I'd like to hunt though ! LOL
If you'd ever like to come up and hunt some " flat " land , give me a shout.

If there is a place you can bear hunt thats not tough I've yet to hunt there. Either straight up and down, so thick you cant crawl through it, or water waste deep. Have you ever been trying to get to a pack of dogs and said to yourself man your stupid!!

This is a non-thick part for coonhunting in... The dogs can actually make it to the tree to tree on... I am going to have to get some pictures of the thick stuff (yay for the Pacific Northwest)



This is where my dogs cat hunt... My slightly out of shape ass has not hunted there.. I have seen video of it.. The video does it more justice then the pics do

A little farther south in the Appalachains from WVA...this is in the Blue Ridge Mtns of Transylvania County, North Carolina looking down the Horsepasture River Gorge; another 2 or 3 twists of the gorge and you are in South Carolina....you can coon hunt it like we do, but there are almost as many bears and a lot more hogs than there are coons LOL...
