that`s kinda what i thought ? Like he!! you can't...... just gotta be careful and specify whether you're talking about the 2 or 4 legged kind. Also,its against the law to use watermelon for bait..... for either one!

As a kid growing up we had a neighbor who had a small store/butcher shop. He had a couple coon hounds and would sell the meat to black people. Sometimes I waited for half an hour while he sold coon meat. Connecticut wasn’t communist then.

As a kid, I followed my uncle and his crew around coon hunting. We rode mules while chasing the dogs most of the time. Lots of fun for 8 y/o kids riding mules at night and being the designated shooters.

Back in the 70's my brother and I always had about a dozen or more hounds, mainly walkers for running coyotes in the winter, but also beagles and two or three coonhounds. I always favored blueticks, but the best I ever had was a little redticked English bitch. I have spent much of my life running hounds and there's nothing I like better. Times change....

I can vividly remember my grandma griping about the dang hunters in the backyard and grandpas response of “oh Vonnie they’re just coon hunting, leave them boys alone and listen to them hounds”
I’ve never been coon hunting in my life.

As a kid we had two neighbors who hunted. Spent many a night with one or the other. Great memories. Have not been out in years.

Your Walker dog looks good on the bench and lumbered up as well. Little fur hanging up,looks like he is having a good season.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Thanks Torqued.. Me and him have had a lot of fun the last three years.. He's got four litters of puppies on the way, all right around the first of the year, so we will have another project soon..

Made a lot of college money in my teens hunting and trapping coons. They got big in our area and had amazing pelts by November. I could get $80 a pelt in the early '80's and there was seemingly no limit of them out there. Spent my weekends fleshing and stretching furs.
