Coon hunting spots

[Machias]

Anyone have any coon hunting spots within...say 60 to 70 miles of Spokane that they'd like to share or go to with me.  Needs to have a running creek, stream, river.....few, if any, roads and enough space for the dogs to get out a bit.  My dogs are Leopard Curs so they do not range as far as hounds do.  They hunt a bit closer.  Your more than welcome to tag along and shoot any coons you want, heck you can do all of the shooting.  Have dog, will travel.

Thanks for the offer, just a tad far for a coon hunt, I appreciate it though!

I can get you on a bunch in tricities.

That might be fun for a weekend or two trip, come down on a Friday and head home Sunday morning.  Any place to sleep in a camper while I'm down there?  Thanks!

This weekend?

Oh Machias , If only you were closer . I need a hunting partner and have plenty of coons to play with

Sounds like a hoot, I know I've seen a lot of coons all along that Pend Oreille river.
I don't have a particular spot though, might be worth it to get a public lands map or hunt timber company lands.

Maybe next weekend depending on the weather....and sorry but no you can't shoot it out with your flintlock!  I don't need my dogs burnt.

The coon hunt?  There are a few guys and gals that hunt coon on your side, would you like me to see if anyone is available to take you guys?

That's funny I saw this thread. Neighbor called me last night. Had a few coons coming up and eating the cat food on his deck. He invited me over to solve the problem.

I can wait if you want to bring the dogs all theway  over by Ellensburg

My hounds just told me tonight they want to go hunting

I had the same problem a couple of months ago. Notice I said "had".

 Hey bucklucky, how often to you hit the woods coonhunting? I'll be heading out to Ft Lewis in July for a few years, maybe longer dpending on how this east caoster likes it, haha. I'll be looking to get me a started dog once I'm there and will need someone who knows the terrain and doesn't mind a tag-a-long.

 This goes for anyone else too. I'll be living down around yelm area once I find a place too rent that is hound friendly and has a garage/shop for me to put my welder and metal.

How would one go about hunting them?

Spot and stock at dusk? 

What kind of firearm?  shotgun or rifle?

[Machias]

With or without dogs?  Without, you could walk creeks with a headlamp and look for eyes, not as hard as you think.  With dogs I free cast them or turn them loose and walk with them down the creeks.  My dog likes to go out and then comes back and checks in every 15 or 20 minutes, unless he hits a track.  LOTS of fun!!  I use a .22 pistol, but a .22 rifle works just fine.
