12-25-12 coon report

First drop 2 dogs Jenny and rooster. Long run to a slick 50ft from a den. 2nd drop Jenny went left rooster right. Jenny trees without a strike and rooster joined. It sounded like a hole as I was walking up. Got there and both dogs were on top of a stump 7 foot tall and 5 foot wide. Rooster was down in it to him hide end. I could hear a coon so I climbed up to pull rooster out and as I grabbed him a coin crawls out beside him so I knocked it down to Jenny. Then I pull rooster out with another coon in his mouth. Killed both Coons and Jenny starts treeing 10 foot away from the den and another one was up that tree. 3 is enough for me for a night so back home by 8.

Did not go last night i belive i have the flu

Coons not acting right

We are having the same thing here in MD. Granted my dogs are not world beaters but considering the amount of boot leather we've put down, we've had better luck in the past. Everything we've treed has been after midnight and all boars. We are pretty conservative with harvesting coons because of loss of hunting spots but they definately are not moving like they did this time last year.

I live in a real high coon population area and have a super nice creek right by my home. To my knowledge no one traps it and its right by the highway so nobody hunts it with dogs. I had a box trap set on the side of that creek for over 15 days with a variety of baits. I caught one cat. The last day I went to just pull it because I was sick of it I had a coon in it.

Its just how it has been around here.

I have not noticed too much different in their running patterns compared to the last few years. Ron, this is off subject. I don't know if it is b/c of the new trapper supply house close by or not, but there are more people trapping than ever this year. Kinda nice to see, I thought that tradition was dying. Of course, it still might die when the fur prices aren't what was promised or people realize it isn't easy work. I suppose I might quit hunting when they can set out the snares, though.

I had one of my pups get caught in a trap just last week. IT wasn't a big deal but enough to kind of put a damper on the night. I am kind of at the point of not worrying about any of it. I always said when it stopped being fun that would be the end for me.

Killed twenty-nine too my young dog soon far his first coon season.I'm hunting three to five nights a week.

And looking at the ten day forecast I don't think this snow is going to be going away. I guess this was the perfect time to get sick...glass is half full...

Glad to hear your having good luck with treeing coons. Might have to make a run down to patuxent. Have not hunted that for years. I usually do tree something when I bring my walker female but she will hurt you putting them up. Jessie has more range than I have woods to hunt. I was surprised to hear SParky is still kicking. Oh yeh, Reggie says he is still waiting on that shrimp you owe him.

Went out tonight for a drop took a 15 month old lone pine pup out checked around standing corn and small stream next to it and no tracks. Did some flintlock earlier and checked other creeks and no tracks around the either. Just plain ain't moving around here. I think having te nice days we had a few weeks ago to being dumped on by snow screwed with them a bit
