Summer hunting

I wanted to see how many people still go hunting when the trees get full of leaves. The past two times I’ve been the trees had so many leaves it would be almost impossible to find the coon.

Summer

I've always enjoyed summer time hunting, young coons in the corn fields make for some great running with a young or old dog and yes you don't always see them eyes, I pick my nites and spots when I go and I make sure my tick meds are up to date I just don't like laying a young dog up all summer but that's just me, I bought a few extra cans of sketter dope last fall when it was on sale.....and a new water jug!

I tell myself every year that I'm not gonna hunt this summer but I always do. Can't stand to see the dogs laid up all summer. Do everything I can to take care of the tick problem for both myself and my dogs.

With some patience and a quality squaller, if the coon is there you’re most likely going to find it.

Where I live the hunting is better in the mid, to late Spring, through Summer. Coons migrate away from the rivers and creeks when it gets cold. In the Fall it can be good hunting.... but nobody lets you go coon hunting on their land here for fear of scaring a deer (don't get me started!). So land owners are much more open to letting you hunt, and coons are much more concentrated on rivers in the Spring and Summer.

Pretty much hunt the same year round.Try to go at least every other nite,weather permitting.

In Illinois we hunted year round. You can get a young dog primed up and ready if they are running and treeing by themselves in the Spring and then pour it to them in the Summer hunting them by their selves. It gets hot and you need bug spry but some of my favorite memories are from hunting in the summer.

I live in South Georgia now and no one I've found hunts in the summer. Most everybody I've met who hunts is done now and won't start up again until October. I've been trying to find someone to hunt with and everyone has packed up their dogs apparently for the duration of hot weather.

Paul, you will understand by July. When I lived in central NC I hunted through the summer picking my nights. I live in eastern NC with flat lands and swamps, it gets to hot to hunt.

I know some that only hunt when the leaves are on. That's where them 95% coondogs come from.
