Good Coon Hunting Books?

Looking for some suggestions of good old fashioned Coonhound reading books right now during the hottest part of the summer. (About 90 at dark with humidity around 95). Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Gone with the dogs by Steve Fielder is pretty good. Has stories and some history mainly coon hunting and a little bear with plot hounds if I remember right.

Strike and Stay by Bob Plott isn’t bad. If you like hound history and the guys that made the Plott hound what it is today, then this book is right up your alley.

Trained by a hound dog by Ed Vance is pretty good as well. That is more big game hunting but still a good read. Right now I am reading Call of the Hounds by Del Cameron. Not too far in but it is good as well. Mostly big game as well but lots of stories and history of the old time lion and bear hunters.

buy wild willys book learn his secrets worth every penny and more !!!!!

Is Wild Willy's the name of the book? Is it more of a how to train type book or old time coon hunting stories and history book?

Where the Red Fern Grows, best 1 of all.

The Sound of Hounds and The Thrill Of The Chase by Gregory Bart Nation both good books

Thanks so much fellas. Those books will help stave me off till these hot summer evenings have past.

Hie to the Hunters by Jesse Stuart is about fox hounds but is a great read. Set in rural Kentucky.

If you like a good fictional book the ryland creek saga is a series of books written by a coonhunter .
The first one is called (the last coonhunter).
They're 3 books out now.
The last coonhunter
Exceptional hound
Master of hounds
Very good reads!

If interested for younger kids is a series of books called adventures of the sugar creek gangs.
