Title: COON DOWN!!!
Post by: HUNTINCOUPLE on December 07, 2015, 07:48:24 AM: Make the 2am restroom visit then to the kitchen for a glass of water. Here some banging around on the front porch? Flip the light on and there is a COON routing around for food stuffs! Throw on some slippers and grab flashlight and .22. The race is on in my tighty whities to shoot the COON! He's a fast one down through the oaks. His mistake he climbed a tree! One shot! COON DOWN! :IBCOOL:

Nope. Cut it up for next season HOGCRAW contest! Made bait size chunks and vac packed it all for the freshest of crawfish baits.

Dang thing was still in the pen of course cuz he didn't know where he got in at and how to get back out so I waxed him. He had chased them so much that the dead one's were trampled down into the dirt already and the live one's were covered in mud and soaking wet.

Sorry to hear this. It always seems to be right when you've invested so much time and money into the birds too :bash:

Post by: NRA4LIFE on December 09, 2015, 01:44:40 PM: Excellent. The only good one is a dead one. Those things make my blood boil. The last one that got in my barn mangled up one of my barn cats pretty bad. It lived but barely I think. Never thought of using them for bait. Anybody try coon as crab bait?

Post by: LDennis24 on December 10, 2015, 09:26:12 AM: I used it to train my LGD and she growled and rang it like she was killing it. She's not even a yr yet and didn't know if she was allowed to kill them cuz she isn't allowed to chase cat's, I don't think she knew it wasn't a cat, so it was a good teaching tool for her. She will hangout with the chicken's and eat the gran sometime's. Now she keeps going back and smelling the blood where it was at and look's for it! I'm hoping next time she'll do the job on her own. :tup:
