Second Day:
Later in the Month:
Another day later in the month, possibly Thanksgiving weekend:
Sorry, No lever guns. Just a couple 10/22's and a Rem 597 mag.

Great pictures and good looking pelts. How do you hunt them in the daytime?
Thanks

Nice pics. What's up with the no leverguns? And, I'm curious as to the market for coon pelts too.

Are you just squalling them out of their dens..? Seen them do that on video, but have never done it.

That's a mess of coons! Well done!
My new Foxpro caller has a coon fight on it. I guess that would attract some coons. Never tried calling them before.

OK I need to be educated on how to get coons during the day. When I was growing up we ran coon dogs at night. Funnest hunting there is ,but keeping coon dogs is a pain in the butt. So if you could share with us how you go about calling coon and what kind of call sounds are used. Thanks

Looks like you're thinning out the coon population. Good hunting...good shooting!

Neat pics. You boys sure look like you know what your doing. Here in the East, hardly nobody hunts them anymore and the population is exploding. The cities are full of 'em. ---------Sixgun
Re: OT - Coon Hunting (Big Pictures, Beware)
Do you use dumpster truck noises? Maybe the beeping noise the trucks make when they back up. That probably really brings them in.

FoxPro's Coonfight will bring in most of em but you really need to get one of the FoxPro Coon Distress or Coon Distress #2.
The set up? Find a den tree, set caller at base of tree opposite of any holes if possible and get ready. Some come fast, some come slow, some play peek'a'boo and ya never get em. Keep your eyes peeled around ya to. Coon will come from about anywhere.
BenT, we ran hounds for lots of years but between short season, dwidling hunting land and some not so great strains of hounds we decided callin was the way to go. Better than traps too IMO. Don't have to get up early and check em on a cold, rainy Nov. morning. Bad weather? Hi honey, what ya doing..........
Sold 33 so far, average $10. Anywhere from $1 to $25 tops.

Now that looks like fun, and could pay for itself too.
