With most of us having less land to hunt every year, how often do you think you can hunt one spot if your not killing any coon? Once a month? Twice a month? Every week?

Around here a bunch of us hit the same blocks but none of us kill over 5 10 coon a year. I would say these blocks get hit at least once a week if not 2 or 3 times and we always tree coons in them and it seems like we still pretty much make trees in the same areas of the woods. These are relatively small blocks also anywhere from 20 to 80 acre blocks

I tree the same old coons in the same old trees all winter. I try not to hunt those "one drop" holes over once or maybe twice a week, but I'll sometimes hunt bigger country where I can cast from tree to tree several nights in a row. I've got a secret spot or two a dog can tree half a dozen coons a night if he wants to, and its hard to stay out of there to let it rest...

There are some “community woods” around here that get hunted by 2-3 people a night on separate occasions. I drop in them from time to time, usually good for a coon past the usually 4-500 yard mark most common dogs seem to stop at.

I think no more than once a week works best, especially so if you are needing an easy place for a pup to get after a coon.

it's been my experience much more pressure than that tends to drive the coon deeper into the woods making it a little more taxing to get a good hot track.

No that all changes for those people setting up feeders, but I'm just talking about my area, average population.

I know a guy who used to hunt the same five or six drops every night for a month and killed every coon he trees. Swore if you killed one then two or three came to the funeral and he would get those too. In about a month they would run out of relatives and he would pull out of that area and go to another area. He’d do the same thing there for a month and then go to another area for a month. Then he would go back to the same area he has started with and it would be just like it was coon population wise when he has started there 90 day earlier.

When I was a young teenager and didn’t have a license I hunted a 1000 acres in behind my house almost every night but didn’t kill many coon. Didn’t seem to bother the coon much to get treed night after night.

I had permission to hunt a 3000 acre hunt club, owner wanted all the coon dead. Hunted it 1-2 nights a week, would text him next day and tell him how many I treed, usually 3-4. He assumed a treed coon was a dead coon, never told him the difference. He did tell me once he didn’t know where all the coon were coming from, had just as many coon as before I started hunting it. Would only shoot maybe one a week sometimes.
