Coon hunt in the rain or stay home and dry

Back when my wife worked 3rd shift (for 15 years), i didn't get to choose what nights I could hunt. If she was off I hunted. As my luck would have it that meant more bad weather nights than good weather nights. I learned that you can pretty much tree a coon in any kind of weather.

In fact, many of the really bad nights are some of my fondest memories. One such memory was hunting my hound Driver in a pouring down rain in the middle of January in a flooded river bottom. The water was never less than knee deep. Driver treed seven single large boar (all > 20 lbs.) coon in less than 2 hours. Each of the tracks were hard running tracks.

If the rain scared me, I would have not experienced one heck of a night.

When I was younger the only requirement I had to go was that it got dark but now I realize there will be better nights so I'm a little more flexible! Lol no heavy rain!!!

I will hunt in the rain unless the lighting is bad.

I can only hunt weekends so unless it's a downpour I'm going. If it's snowing though I'm staying home.

You are right, hunting in the rain is a very good time to tree coons, especially if you have a COONDOG. Coons stir good in rainy weather. My hunting buddy and I have treed many coons in the rain, bad weather separates the coonhunter and the Coondogs. Dave
