Every now and then I like to watch a fight

I don't really think anymore that a fight is necessary for the dog's sake. I think the shot and the coon hitting the ground then getting to wool it a little is all the reward needed.

We had one get coonhound paralysis last winter from fighting the coon. You can't always kill the coon in the tree but we dont intentionally aim to wound.

Every now and then, the coon is going to hit the ground ready to rock.. that's just the way it is. Keep 'em treed!

I have a dog that is 4yoa and has NEVER had his mouth on a coon do you think he would have made a better dog is he had?

Shooting coons any more is a waist in my book you can't sell them and I can't eat them. So I tree em and leave em.
Not to knock any one elses opinion on the matter. truth be told I have a bitch that is 5 now she made nite ch at 18 months old and at that time had never even seen a coon.. Granted she is special, but if they are bred right they will tree with out any help from coons shot, petting, or coaxing.
She's still treeing coons and has only between 10 or 15 coons ever shot out to her. good luck

Tree em and leave em

DEAD! Easier on the coon, easier on the dogs and easier on me when I clean them. My wife will get on my butt if I bring in a chewed up coon for her to cook.

'IF' I shoot one out I want it hammer dead. Dog's job is to tree it, my job is to kill it.

i like mine to come out dead don't want my dog tore up young dog starting out needs a few during season but not every 1 they tree ive seen a young dog ruin by shoot out a coon full of fight so imo dead is the best

Dead!! Figure once the dog does his job of treeing him it's my job to kill it.. After all that's why I carry the gun. Lol

If every day you went to work and a guy punched in the face, how long before you didn't really want to go to work??? It's just a thought that makes me shoot them stone dead.

I tree them and leave them. If I killed them I'd have to eat them or feed them to the dogs and that's too much trouble.
