We are in the hill country and dogs need to go hunting to tree coon and 3/4's of a mile is not what a lot of us call deep. For you to make that blanket statement about what was needed in Ohio was not accurate.
C'mon now John, quit pulling Clyde's leg! LOL A while back, not sure on which post, I saw you post a thread reponse about Northern Ohio & all the coons & easy hunting. I sort of chuckled to myself & thought if someone from the South sees your post & the "Ohio" for your location they would say the same about you & your area. Low & behold it came to pass! LOL Sorry John, just couldn't resist!
Clyde, I beg to differ with you on treeing coons all night long in Ohio with a close "lazy" type dog. I happen to own one & I'll be darned, but that sucker seems to peter out about half way through the night! LOL
Different strokes for different folks. Different areas of the country require different style hounds. Where I live, if a dog is constantly going .75 to 1.00 miles every time you cut them to get treed, they are passing up/missing a bunch of coon. What would be a classified as a "blow through the country idiot" around here would be called a "coon dog" in the South. Finding the right style of dog to match your hunting area/conditions is what I consider just using your commons sense. No need to bash/critique another style of dog that would not work in your area of the country.
I've got a novel idea, how about a hound that has enough brains & savy to get the job done in thick or thin coon, patch woods or tens of thousands of acres of timber? Does this type of dog even exist? Not according to many on here, it is either one way or the other. In the meantime, I will keep on trying to find an old blue biscuit eater that can tree one of these sick woodlot coons around here every now & again.
As long a you enjoy what you are feeding, good for you! Diversity is what makes hunting with these old dogs worth while!
