Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Small Game Any coon hunters?

james what call do you use ?

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!

I'm coon hunt'in right now. I'm waiting for the little buggers to show up and try to raid my garden again.

I killed a very large coon with my pistol that was in my chicken house he would eat all the eggs and kill a chicken and eat that also..my Ruger single six ended his crap..

UKC Grand Nite Ch, PKC CH Hardwood Arizona Ranger.. He and I hunt a couple hundred nights a year and are half way serious about it. I started him from a pup, three years old now.. The GPS technology we have for hound tracking now is phenomenal.. I can sit in the buggy or truck and pretty much have a handle on his location at all times.. I've spent a good bit of time working with him and can generally tone him back from up to a mile and half.. If he's on a hot track I have to let him get treed before I turn him back, unless it's a danger situation, then a bump of electricity will stop him and turn him around right now.. Only do that in a road or crazy person house type situation.

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.

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.

when i was a kid in the early 70s my uncle took me coon hunting first thing in the morning with 1 beagle/hound mix dog . said that why be up all nite when you could just kill them when they get home. we killed a bunch of them

Me and my grandson call a few in.
