2017 Coon Season
Machias:
Anyone getting anxious for some coon hunting this year? I have two pups I'm looking forward to getting on some masked bandits. Anyone on the east side with a good dog or two that do not run off game or are grouchy in any way and need a partner once in a while, I'd love to tag along. Good luck this fall and winter and be safe out there!! Remember to share some photos once in a while. :hello:

The Dad of a HS buddy of mine in the 70's-80's made quite a bit of money each winter running dogs in Northern Missouri. He rode jumping mules during the hunt. In fact he bred them.
I never went with him, but heard he would dismount and they would jump over a fence so he could continue the hunt.

We used to use mules in Iowa. We would climb off and put our jacket over the fence, that was the cue for them to jump over....talk about a tough animal to keep in a pasture! They would hop anything
I can't guarantee the dogs are not going to run off game but we can give it a try! :o
We usually wait until after lion season and hunt in the early spring.
