Title: Coon Hunting
Post by: hatchet338 on August 27, 2007, 01:58:07 AM: I'm looking at a job in Dayton and want to know if there is any coon hunting in that area for a guy to run his hounds on. And is there any state regs about hunting coons with hounds?

You can hunt coons along the Palouse and Snake Rivers and the tributaries. What kind of dogs do you run?

Did you forget to tell him about treeing switches?
