How's the moonlight hunting going

This bright ole moon has slowed ours down a bit. Still treeing a few, treed two tonight and was back home by 9:15. Didn't wan to press my luck LOL! Seems we have been treeing mostly laid up coons not much for tracks.

Just makin them run a little harder in my area

People accuse me of being color blind. The truth is I will hunt red ones, blue ones, black and white ones, yellow ones, black and tan ones, or even brindle ones; Just as long as they are English!

Hopefully they are running a little later cause I'm going to head out about 1 or so and see if I can get something going it's been kinda slow around here early so who knows

Around here in central illinois has been hit or miss...got some ruttin goin on and treeing the hell out of boars!...made 2 drops tonight, 2 trees, 2 boar coons...Every night aint always like that....take the good with the bad.

went out tonight. I was cold and bright in the beginning treed a coon right off the bat and then a den and they 5 straight coon. The clouds rolled it and it warmed up 8 degrees though so that always helps lol

Moon...

Didn't affect my hunting party the other night. We made our first drop around 8:00 and ended the hunt around 1:30 that morning with 9 coon. The moon was so bright we didn't need our lights while walking through the woods.

I hunt here in Va and Nc and we have had a time of it going on two weeks now. We are just having a really hard time hitting a track. And when they do it's a den. And its the same for most people in the area. Tracks are always hard this time of year though!LOL. Just part of the game so we are just dealing with it.

runnin hard here.. had a young dog go 4 miles last night.. never did get him treed..lol..

typo lol dont have anything else here to hunt except midge

we went out at 6:30pm last night. the dogs treed one really fast. but it went up into a tall pine and we saw eyes for a brief moment and then nothing. went up the road and let loose again. the dogs trailed it a loooong way. into a ravine and then up a hill. we got a big old boar out of that tree. wish i had thought to bring a camera. the light of the moon was so bright wouldn't have needed a flash. lol. had kids with us so we ended it at 9pm.

it took 2 hours to find a track got that one out of the tree then turned loose again and he treed about 30 minutes later but when we got about 100 yards or so from him coyotes ate him up and he ran back past us and jumped in the boat scared lake a little baby. we left an when we got hom i notices a cut on his head and all swolled up. i think this moon is kepin the coons up and the coyotes out.

Last night the dogs were out of hearing when they struck on the first drop and we found them treed about a mile away on a den tree. Next drop was a real quick strike and they treed about 500 yards away in a huge patch of Hemlocks. Never did see a coon but had a nice time. The weather here is much warmer than normal. Hitting the mid to high fifties during the day and supposed to hit 62 this Saturday.

The dumb ones are dead, has very little to do with the moon. They run like the wind. If you're catching coon now you're packing a coon dog, if you're not it's time to upgrade.

Its been tough here. I was going lastnight with Trent that comes on here he's younger kid i known his dad along time but coudn't get out babysitter was sick but last few times out it's been long long hunts with usally a den r a hole at the end of it few on the outside. Then a couple nights ago i was going to go but the moon had a ring around it so i stay home LOL.

WELL....WE LOOKED AT 6 LAST NIGHT, IN THE POURING RAIN! LOL

FAITH HAD 3 BY HERSELF AND THE OTHER TWO DOGS HAD ONE APEICE AND THEN THERE WAS ONE SITTING UP.

FAITH GOT ONE ROLLED TO HER.
