Jason, aside from the overall Gr Nt Ch & Nt Ch winners, the scores weren't too high. I'm not sure where the hunt was held, but the northern part of the state has a little better coon population. It seems like when you cross north over the I-70 belt of Ohio, the coons are bigger & there are a few more of them. Even if they are thick, a dog still has to tree them, which is easier said than done. Lots of folks get caught up in what they read on the internet, & when they see "Ohio" they have grand illusions of coons in every tree, or every race being a short pop up. As you have witnessed first hand, that is not the case, especially if you hunt Gov't ground. I'm not a huge fan of hunting the Gov't ground around these parts. I've had far more poor hunts than good ones over the years while hunting it. Of course, that may have something to do with the lack of dog power, or a sorry owner that should hunt his dogs more! Even a lot of the private woods see a ton of hunting pressure. South central Ohio & Southeast Ohio in those hills you hunted in with Mike & Wayne have a much thinner population as well. We got some rain up this way too, so that sure hasn't hurt a thing either  .
