My grandfather was a big time coon hunter, and I went on a number of coon hunts when I was a kid, and even for a several years thereafter. The only coon hunting I do now is with a call or a trap. Very few people hunt them around here anymore, and the country is overrun with them. I've trapped 6 and called up one around my sweet corn patch over the past few weeks. About the time I think I've gotten rid of them, they start showing back up again.
