I hunt in north central iowa. Right in the heart of a corn belt but I will tell you this even up here in the corn fields not every dog can tree a coon. The dog still has to know ehat he is doing. I hunt quite a bit with my threr blueticks who are amazingly great hounds for me but the most I've gotten in one night was 14 and that was starting at like 8pm opening night and running til 1am. And we do not shine one bit. We turn the dogs loose and find a tree and plant our butts and just listen to the dogs work. There's nothin better than listening to the dogs doin their jobs runnin through the woods

Some folks dream of a cruise. LOL Mine is to cut loose in big corn fields. I hunt marsh and that is a lot like drilled Millet or beans I guess.
The most I got was that a pup treed in different trees was 9 on an island that had a cattle fedlot on it about 30 years ago. I got 14 off one drop about 5 years ago, all different trees, let one dog get about 5 > then I had seen other eyes way back so I let another pup out and figured it would be smelling those coons I toted back, But no, he treed a couple . Then I turned out another young dog that treed a few more . By the time my buddy got there I already had 12 . LOL we went with another young dog through all that smell dragging and he treed a couple more we brought out together from separate trees. The only one I shot out that a dog did not tree I shot so it landed on the dogbox. and that made 15 by 10:30 so we quit. Never got a trail or a race. But I was engaged to kill coons off that Plantation. That was not around a feedlot nor buckets , Just happened to be where coons were up in oaks on the edge of the marsh and I don't know if the tide was in coming or out going. the coons families were already broke up>
