Mine better get gone and not be seen again untill I get em off a tree or cut em off somehow..A mile is not really deep here..Thats a ways in there..I've saw em go 5 or 6 miles before treeing but we did have rds to pull around on...Getting deep to me is going untill they find a coon..Dont want them coming back period....Yep we have thin coon.. Heck I've had to go over a mile to tree em hunting on feeder buckets

The coon population is much better now... but just 2 years ago there were next to none left in the area i was hunting due to a terrible case of distemper. It was nothing for a dog to go over 2 miles before getting struck night after night... Now that the coon population is getting back to normal a quarter to three-quarters a mile is the average... but some nights they still go over a mile before getting struck...

According to my Garmin my average race from taligate to tree is just under .7 miles The shortest being a couple of hundred yard and the longest being just over 2 miles.

Last year on the opening day of bear season I had a dog run just under 16 miles.

i got spots they can be treed within 50 yrds of the truck and depending on how many dogs we turn loose all can be treed within sight of each other on their own tree.

Made a turn out saturday morning around 5:30 Am, on an old pond in the National Forist, dogs made a loop around the pond, and b-lined across the hill about a mile and we caught them on some privet land trailing on an old feed track next the Hwy.
that was a Kemmer Cur and a Red Tick English hound, never got a bark for almost a Half an hour
