Coon Hunting

[yoteler]

I was out last friday here in Minnesota and it was COLD the weather man said 20 to 25 belong windshield. Anyway I have been wanting to try to call coon in so I went and bought a tape the works in my Johnny Stewart E-caller. The tape was called coon fighting and on the package it said 3 nights calling 36 coon taken. well I had to try it. I went to a spot that I have seen the bandits in and found a decent hollowed out tree top. Well I put the speaker on the back side of the tree and sat on the side with the hole. I started the tape and about 2 min. a boar came out looking, and I was able to get a shot. Well I nomore then shot and another boar came out fast growling, and I shot him aswell. The the second raccoon was shoot with a bad 22 round and just got knocked out, becuase I picked him up and through him in the dog box. well when I got home I tried opening the box and get alittle charged on me. He was full alive and NOT HAPPY. It was real fun trying to get him out of the dog box, so I had to get help from my Choc. lab
Here are the pics

You need to try it with dogs. My Walker loves to fight em.

deerslayer11 I have hunted with the hounds before, and that was great, but I don't own any coon hounds, because they seem to bark alot while in the kennels, when not hunting.( just going on what I had seen). I am sure there are alot that do not do that. I have hunted with walkers, blueticks, redbones and black-tans. One of the best hunts I ever, got to do was with a guy that lived in Fayette Missouri, and owned the Silver Bell Motel. His first name was Casey, but I don't remember his last name. He had Blueticks. His Hunting partner was a tall Native American, but don't remember his name, they were really great guys.

Dogs are the only way to go here. E-callers are illegal and with all the dog hunters its hard to squall one out.

It would be the best to use dogs here as well, because there is a lot of area, and woods, that nobody hunts coon in, and the coon are there LOL
