Its mainly about how much hunt a dog has in it. Also a dog that is a hard going get by himself type dog can have trouble winning up there. I once took Rock to Northern indiana to a hunt and scored 5 coon and had 4 (the last 4) completely by himself, no minus and I still didnt win the cast. I was taking last strike every time. He was only 16 months old at the time, and grant it, I have won just about every other time I ventured that far north. One thing I have have found out the hard way is its nice to have that wide hunting dog when you need it. Thats one thing that you cant put in a dog, is "hunt". If you have a deep hunting dog the trick is he needs to get treed in a hurry or else he will make you miserable. I do not like a close huntin dog but can appreciate the folks that do!

I must agree. a good dog is what gets it done .but i dont like a get deep dog. the country I hunt is to big. and the wolves are thick. up here there are dogs ate every year. im not talking one or two neither. im telling you atleast one per county. in the upper third of the state. so dont try one that wants to run out a mile before it starts hunting.

After reading all the posts from your Northern Boys about the snow, wind, ice, sub zero tempratures, and wolves. I think I stick to my mild temprature, thin coons, and no wolf havin' country for a while. I appreciate you guys up there keeping the sport goin year after year, but I think Ill stick to Oklahoma!

You southern boys are funny. Up untill 3 years ago I lived in Iowa in thick coon. I now live in Tennessee in thin coon. I have a 9 year old dog that I have owned since she was a pup and I could not tell ANY difference WHATSOEVER in her ability to tree a coon when I moved down here. A COONDOG is a COONDOG no matter where you drop the tailgate, it's just that simple. Now here is where there is a difference. You let one of those southern dogs catch one of those northern coon on the ground and they will be wishing they hadn't. Them BIG BOY'S up north will flat tear a dog up.

Its still cold and snow is getting deeper and my young red is still treeing, I think that soothern dogs would have trouble heck I bet the handlers would have trouble it takes a nut to go out when its 20 degrees and snow falling ,well got to go turn the dog out 23 degrees and more snow coming gotta hunt. bye

yeah snakes are real thick down here. I have had more than one dog get bit by them rascalls. Even had a couple die. Especially the rattlers, around NE Oklahoma they are real thick in the summer time along with the copperheads and watermockasins. Ive always just tried to tell my dogs to watch out for the Rattleheadedcoppermockasin! I know the coons are big up north, hell I think one time I thought the coon had eaten the dog and started on another one. lol

I'd love to come back up north again to hunt. I would like to see how my 19 month old male would do in those conditions. I would have to say that he would have a harder time adjusting than my old female did when I moved south. He looks like a million bucks down here on this cool damp ground, but up there where everything is frozen solid.......well I"ll just say that he may not have me bragging on him up there.

I hunted a dog from nc.It was a grnite it hunted to hard for ohio.It passed up coon all night, it was a pain to hunt.Iwould hunt it for 2 hours walk 1 or2 miles for 1 coon.then turn one of my dogs loose in the same woods and tree 4 or 5 coon that he passed up.I think each st and area needs diff styles.thin coon need a ranger that will find coon,thick coon need a not leave a leaf unturned dog

i know you guys are arguing about southern dogs vs northern dogs but you folks that think tn or nc or ok are southerndogs thats not the same kind of country as southern dogs im talkin about im talkin about the dogs that hunt like in swamps of la or southern 1/4 of ms, ga, al. and of course floridathose are the dogs and the places your gonna see a difference in how the coon run and the big terrain difference, not much difference at all between n. ga and wv or iowa and north ms. its when you get down in the thick swamps that it changes thats where the coons will run forever and not tree for an hour or so, thats where a dog has to track across 2 feet of water thats where the disscusion should be about a northern dog against a southern dog cause thats pretty much the only two places that differ greatly in landscape and coon runnin habits.

How bout the Brush, Pine Plantations, and Cut overs, of East Texas, West Lousiana? Those Thickets, and Huricane Timber, can be challenging too.

we have so many gators its rediculous dont get a lot of dogs ate but there are agtors everywhere in the summer here., and any where that a huricane has recently come through its gonna be though. okreddog56 you are right a coondog is a coondog wherever you drop em but i be you drop your dog in a swamp and he will just run around like a chickin with its head cut off most of the coons in the watery swamps get winded cause they swim to the trees and as we all know you cant sniff a track on the top of the water so you have to have a dog that can wind a coon and be accurate enough to tree it. im sure there are some cold weather dogs that are good at windin a coon that would do great down here. i prefer to hunt above the tn line but since i am stationed down here i guess ill just have to keep hunting these swamps for another year or so till they move me again. hopefully ill get back in the wv area i loved hunting there or mabey ky.

i am plannin a trip up to visit my family up in ark city ks i should be passin by pretty close. when i was a kid round 14 15 years old i lived in the childrens home called cookson hills for 2 years it is right near the arkansas border close to the illinois river i think that was the river anyways. thats where i got my start in coon hunting. it was nice country down that way. i havent been there in 11 years other than just passin through on the way to my folks house up in newkirk. just wanderin if you might would want to take me and my hound huntin somtime around febuary if the season is still in? im gonna be up that way visitin family. and dont worry i know that theres rough country in everypart of the usa, ive seen jungles thicker than the amazon in wv and seen country wide open and nice as a park here in southern ms.
