red bone

me and a friend of mine was hunting one night and he was telling me about his 2 yr old red bone male and he was running and treeing in front of all the other dogs he had hunted with , so i was really interested in cutting him loose with my 3 yr old walker that i knew was fast on track and tree,,,so we cut them loose in a corn field that had watermelons planted in the middle of the field ,,the red dog locked down treed every breath while my walker was walking around the truck like some-body had beat him,,,so we got the rifle and went to the red dog that was blowing it out ,,my buddy said ,your dog ain't as fast as you thought is he,,,i just scatched my head ,,,we got to the red dog to find him locked down with slobber slinging treeing a water-melon,,,well he put the leash on him and had to drag him off of it.

WE treed a porky years ago and it was hard to believe that was what we were after. He was near the top of that tree and while we were shining the tree a coon popped it's head out from where the truck made it's first fork.........

Was out another time years ago and treed a ringtail cat in the book cliffs, right in an apple tree........

I was out coon hunting my 12 year old night champion about a month ago with a friend and the dog treed in an old den tree that you can look clear to the ground. I had found kits in it before and that was what i was expecting but instead I found either a hen turkey or a buzzard down in the bottom of the tree.

Treed myself once.... was out doing some training and climbed a tree to get a good view of the pups running track. well one pup followed my scent to the tree. located and started treeing. She never did chase much, just would try to find me. would of made a good man trailer. I got rid of her.

One night roading dogs struck ran 300 yards slammed treed and got to tree to see a big hawk setting in big hemlock. lol. dont know of coon was after it or what.

strange game?

We have treed fisher on occasion when the dogs couldn't get it together and tree bear.Even though they are off game, it's still kind of cool to see those pine ghosts up a tree! Mike Kraft-Rocking K Black & Tans.

No joke.

Haven't seen anyone report 1 of these........

Couple summers back was pleasure hunting a cornfield edge along a river/creek bottom with one of my curs. Must have been June since corn was knee/waist high.

Anyhow she goes to treeing in the cornfield. Kit coon on a corn stalk? Nope. She was baying but I couldn't see the critter. If it was a coon she would have killed it so I circled a few times at a distance thinking SKUNK! Finally got brave and went in. Snapping Turtle laying a nest of eggs and she wasn't backing down a bit!
"Treed" 2 more after that in the same field.

Yeeeeyeeeyeeeeyeeee LIVE ACTION!!!

Did you say cold, hard, CASH? LOL.

strange tree

A friend of mine had a strange experience at a tree this spring. They treed a coon on private ground, neather being strange in his parts. It was late at night and they decided to go retreave the dogs without waking anyone for permission. My friend his friend and his friends girlfriend all got to the tree, and started catching up the dogs. Then here comes the slightly irritated land owner. All he was wearing was a gilligans island hat, and bath slippers, and totting a shotgun. My friend said he wanted to laugh at the fellers tiny little poker, but couldnt bring himself to laugh staring down a very large barrel. After a heated discussion the police arrived. The cop told my friend he was sure coon are protected, they were trespassing, and the man had a right to protect his property. My friend didnt argue with the crazy man or crazy cop, and left as quick as possible.

I turned my 14 month old female out a few months ago and she ran the edge of the field and semi treed. I let her stay a while and she never moved so we walked to her and she had a box turtle bayed. I was pissed at first until I started inspecting and right beside her in a 10-15 foot tree were 2 small coon. I notice the ground had been scratched up all around the turtle but I figured the dog had pawed at it but it was to small to be a dog track. Well after inspecting the turtle there were scratches all over his shell. Only thing I can figure is either them coons were trying to eat the turtle or just playing with him one. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen.

COON HUNTIN Its not a hobby its a way of life

I hate to admit it but

a few years back I cut loose a Gr.Nt. male that I had down a path.He cut off to the left and opened up right away.I'm thinkin' to my self "Boy this is gonna be quick".He pulled up treed in less than 2 mins.Was walkin to the tree and noticed it was a pine tree about 40ft. tall growin' straight up.The first branch was prolly 15ft. from the ground.And there sat a grey fox.Now,I've heard that they would climb,but I always heard they would climb a deadfall or somethin' similar.I shot it out & whupped the tar outta him with the carcass.

Now that was funny don't know if the farmer ever got that one back.

we treed a grey fox one night about 6 feet off the ground and it jumped down when we walked up and by the time we pulled the last dog off it was ripped up to bad to get up. we also treed a pine martin one time with my beagles who i didnt know could tree lol. a funny story "not a treed story per say" would be 2 days in a row my beagles were hot after a cottontail and would lose the track and never pick it back up, i walked in the second time to see if there was a hole where they were running around checking and the cotton tail was perched up on a blown down tree that was three feet off the ground. the only thing i can figure is he would jump up there and laugh at the dogs running around underneath him because thats exactly what i was doing lol.

Looks like a coon with a long tail and legs; native of Central America.

The best race I ever had was almost two miles. They ran more or less parallel to a powerline and crossed back and forth several times. We could walk right along and keep up pretty easy. It finally treed on a riverbank on our side. That coon didn't weigh but between five and ten pounds. I tote them out by the hind ankles. My buddy noticed that the tail hung 4 rings past the tip of his nose and his front legs were dragging the ground. Longest tail and legged rascal I ever saw.

I saw a guys black & Tan dog tree a empty burlap sack hanging in a tree one night during a full moon and no (there was no coon in the sack). Saw a walker dog tear a feeder off of a tree and viciously attack it like it was a coon and no (there was no coon in the bucket.
The most interesting thing I ever treed was a orange coon. Not albino, orange. It was as orange as any orange house cat anywhere. Orange with white rings around its tail. Normal eyes, about 12lbs in weight, and orange. When we saw it up a tree, we thought at first that it may be a red fox, when we shot it out, even the dogs took a double take before attacking it. We knew alot of folks more than likely wouldn believe us so we had it mounted. It is in my coon huntin buddy's living room right now. Never heard or seen another one like it.
