you guys are funny !!! lmao
Having lived in NC (southern Part) for over 20 years I can tell you one thing. Coon Dogs are Coon Dogs no matter where you turn them loose.
Oh the hunting is so tough in the South lol my butt. Maybe you never hunted in the North but guess what, we got rivers, creeks, mountains, swamps (yeh even in southern MI) ponds, big lakes and cut overs, and crap hole places too !!!
One thing you have is swimming water hunting and yes that might make a difference but other than that a coon smells the same in the West, East, North or South 
The one thing that does make a major inpact is the ability to get more than 1 coon treed. Make a bad call and if you can't recover and make another tree or get 2 treed off by yourself then you have lost the hunt. Yes we have good coon numbers, but they don't graze, they don't just lay around the fields ready to be treed and not every cast will see 100 coon in a 2 hour hunt 
Seems to me the top 20 dogs when it was held in King and Tenn came from the North, might be because states like IN have more coon hunters in it than say GA ??? Don't know but seems the Northern Dogs did pretty good in them Southern locations ?? 
Simple thinig to remember - Coon Dog is spelled the same both in the North as it is in the South LOL
