Why dont you call Mr Glen Pruitt, from Ohatchee Alabama and ask him he Guided the final cast , didnt have a dog in the hunt but if you look at a lot of the Good Blooded Redbone hounds you will find his Old Choctaw Dog some place in the Breading
and the dog that won the Hunt was Walker

Geez,

First off...sheepster, blacksheep, Jason, or Smokey7...whatever you are calling yourself these days...we have been down this road before.

Here is the biggest difference in our "yankee" coon population and the "rebel" coon population. (lets take density out of the equation...we know there are more coon here than there)

WEATHER.... See in the fertile farmland of the northern regions (I know...you may have never ventured north of the Mason-Dixon line) ole ricky don't have to travel near as far to get his evening meal. And he's big, fat, and content to lay in a den tree for the majority of the time when the weather is not favorable for him.

How the heck did he get so fat you say? Well he spent ALL FREAKING SUMMER eating. He built up a layer of fat on the nuts, berries, insects, night crawlers, corn, wheat, soy beans, crawfish, and whatever else struck his fancy! What's that have to do with it you say?

Well, in the summer time when the coon are building this layer of fat, to prepare them for the long cold winter, we are out treeing 8 to 10 singles in two hours. Its actually pretty simple to figure out if you get past that stubborn "southern heritage" wear your thin coon population like a badge of honor mentality.

Yes, the coon is a cousin (kin for you Jason) to the bear. Now most everybody knows that bears hibernate in the winter time. How long they spend in hybernation depends on how far south they are located. Bear in Canada den up not to be seen until spring. Bear in the southern regions, simple spend more time "sleeping in the den" than they do out foraging.

So you see sheep, as I've told you before, the world is a big place, and it's not all as simple as you care to make it there in Rockmart.

As for the world hunt location.....I'm not sure that I could possibly care any less. I think for the sake of prestige, UKC would PREFER to have it in a place that would remove as much of the "luck" factor as possible.

Lets say you are hunting in ole "sheepsters" favorite spot outside of Rockmart GA.....

Four dog cast, let's make it the final four just for giggles. All four dogs have proven that they can tree a coon by getting through an RQE, a Zone, and have done will in the world hunt...we have to assume they are capable of treeing a coon.

Dog A....from the North
Dog B....from the South
Dog C...from the East
Dog D...from the West

We cast the dogs on the first drop, and the all go different directions. A goes North, B goes South, C goes East, and D goes West.

Whoooweee we are having a coon hunt. An hour and fifteen minutes go by...and not a bark has been heard from any of the dogs. We are walking in the direction that we "think" the dogs went, and at one hour and 55 minutes gone in the hunt, ole Princess (Dog B) is struck and treed. The hunt has been over for almost 30 minutes by the time we get to her, and we score her tree. Yup...plus her up...we have a new World Hunt Winner.

Now, someone please tell me how this denotes the "best" coon dog? The rest of the story is that Dog A is found an hour after the hunt is over....treed with a coon, some three miles North of where Princess was treed. Dog C....well I'll be darned...he was treed too, but he was five miles East of the one dog that was scored in the hunt. Dog D...he was found treed with a danged coon....but he was about three miles West of old WCH Princess.

Which was the best dog?

For my money, I would like to see luck and "home territory" taken out of the equation. If there are six coon per square mile, then each dog has an equal opportunity to tree a coon within hearing and scoring distance of the cast. If there is one coon per three square miles....the lucky dog, not the best dog, trees the coon. If a dog can tree more than one coon in a two hour hunt, and the rest only tree one...that's the best dog...not the dog that trees the only coon found in a two hour hunt....that's luck of the draw.

The difference is in mentality. Sheep goes hunting to tree A coon...I go hunting to tree SOME coon.....

I did not know that this post would stir it up so much or i would;nt have posted it, but oak ridge you make a great point , if we all could agree on one thing it would be the more coons you see the more fun the night is , lets just keep it simple , i have went to the grand american , it nothing like here i went down all week to get my dog ready and she looked like she did up here, except she had to go deeper farther and took her a heck of alot longer to get treed, i guess what im trying to say is why would you want to wait two hours and see one coon when you could see 10 coons in two hours and see dogs split treed all night under there own coon , and i remind you all of this is done within a couple hundred yards of each drop.
