A buddy of mine was a non hunting guide both nights at the Zones. Both nights they saw more than 10 coons. Fri night they made several trees but never scored a coon. Sat night they made several trees but only scored 1 coon and cast winner had 100+. Guess what? They blamed it on the coons. .

I would like to see those guys hunting in Jan/Feb in these mountains! They can't tree them this time of year, something is wrong. Dave

Down here scent conditions are terrible too. No coons to leave scent is main problem. Choot'em makes rhem better 🐶, they think. Stroke'n that ego!

Its gonna be hot here for here tonight but supposed to cool down as the weekend goes.... Should be plenty of coon treed this weekend. That area has been known as coon country for decades....I'm sure there are a few dry holes you can be put in but overall "should" be a steady flow of decent scores. Good luck to all!!

I’m being serious when I ask this question because I’ve never seen a coon just shining a light into the trees. Richard, Are you saying they saw 10 coons and not one tree was made by the dogs? A man I know bought 2 pups out of Michigan, he said they saw 10 or 12 coons just sitting up in trees when he hunted with the father to the puppies. That’s something you most likely won’t ever see in these mountains. I’ve never seen a coon sitting in a tree unless a dog was parked under it in the past 20 years.

I hunted for many years in these mountains before I saw a coon sitting up that the dogs didn't tree. You don't see coons sitting up when coons are scarce. You can see lots of coons sitting up in places where coons are plentiful and where there is a lot of food [ around corn fields, pecan groves, etc. ]. Dave

Oh my goodness, one cast was a dead cast. How do 4 of the top 100 coonhounds in the World not score on a coon in Ohio in 2 hrs?

May have ran in the beans. Coon not moving or possibly not a coondog in the cast.

It's still early [ 1 am ], but some of the casts are back in and it looks like we have some legitimate coon treeing dogs in this bunch. Should be a real good hunt. Dave

Some real good scores early round and 24/25 dogs treed a coon in the late round. Excellent job all the way around. Should be an exciting finish! Dave

I pleasure hunted around the same woods that everyone was in last night. We had 2 dogs that both can win a cast and in 3 hours we treed 2 coons on a river bottom around corn. It's dry and hit and they aren't moving real well. I wasn't surprised by some of the low scores big glad to see some bigger scores get on some coons. Tonight's weather could be hairy

It can happen anywhere to any of them.

Surely everyone realizes that coons are harder to tree in most parts of the South than they are in the North.
