Had to throw away a set of underwear about 3:45 this morning. One dog was in a hole fighting with a coon. The other dog was barking at the hole. Pulled the one dog back and got him tied up. Had to get on my hands and knees to get to the hole. Just as I stuck my head in to see if could grab the dog, here came the coon. And to say the least he was pissed. Not sure how he never broke skin but he was biting the crap out of my coat. Timber had ahold of his hind end, I'm screaming like a little girl cause the coon is working his way towards my face. Luckily Timber got stuck for a half a second coming out of the hole and turned loose of the coon. When he did the coon ran up over my back and got the hell out of dodge. After I got done making sure I didn't have any broken skin I laughed harder than I have laughed in a long time. I'm sure if it would have been video'd it would go viral.

lol...that's pretty good. Reminds me of when that bobcat came zinging out of a hole right at my face. That big walker dog I was holding onto jerked me right over backwards and out of my snowshoes and the chase was on again. Good times.

One night in a nite hunt, the dogs were in a brush pile. I was up on the top trying to get a hold of a dog if I could. I saw some hair about an arms length down, so I got down on my stomach to reach my arm in and about that time the coon shot up and we were about six inches away eye to eye. I don't know which was the most scared because he shot back into the pile. Another guy saw the whole thing and he brings it up every time I see him.

That's pretty good lol. I was up north once and had bayed something. As the cast got closer I can barely hear my dog. Couldn't hear enough to tree. I get over there along with another guy. Mines buried up in some kind of one opening piece of metal. Bout the size of a coon trap. Anyhow this coons working on her head. I had to handle her and was in a bad awkward position. Soon as snapped her. Ol coon comes across her proceeds on my leg. I though here I am 600 miles from home getting attacked by a coon lol. Ol Feller with me hollering turn your dog loose ol Jim can afford to loose one coon. Finally coon runs off. I look on leg and have blood everywhere. Shore nuff bout died then but I eventually saw it was off the dogs ears. LoL. It would be rough to get bit though.

i can see all of this as yall explain it. seen it several times but never to me i was always too chicken !! i remember one time we were hunting and my dad was with me or vice versa and his 100 lb walker male had treed a coon in 4 ft of water and near the bank and dad had a bright idea that he was going to hold the dog while i shot the coon out well dad tied the dog leash to his belt while standing on a wet log with no bark on it in loafers and work pants well there was two splashes one was the coon and one was dad! its hard to unleash a dog after a wounded coon in 3 4 ft of water!

One night years ago, Eugene Malone(known for Twin Pines Redbones) brought young gyp over to try. It was summer and corn was about waist high. This little gyp had got treed on a tree on the edge of the field. Ol' Eugene stepped back into the corn rows a bit to squall. He toot a few times and then he started screaming like a banshee. The old mama coon had come out of the corn and was climbing up his leg. He is gone now, but that memory will live on to the end with me.

We treed one night in a big old cottonwood tree that my buddy though he could climb and bump the coon out. He told me " If that coon starts climbing down let me know, Im serious let me know". I said okay with a smile. He started up the tree and got about 25 feet up the tree and about 10 feet from the coon when the coon started climbing towards him. Of course I wasn't going to say anything. The coon got about 5 feet above him when he looked up and seen him. Ive never seen a guy come out of the tree so fast. The dogs didn't know what to grab a hold of. He was scratched from head to toe. I don't think he missed a limb on the way down. No wonder most of my hunting buddies have quit. The things you do when your kids.

That reminds me of the time when I was about 5 and we treed one in a small tree and my Dad said stand back here so we can shake this tree and let the dogs run it again. I don't want it to jump out on you. So I stood back while my uncle shook the coon out. He hit the ground running right at me. I froze like a deer in the headlights. That coon ran right between my legs. Then so did about 4 or 5 dogs. I am not that tall now and definitely wasn't at 5 years old. As those dogs ran between my legs they were taller than my crotch so they carried me backwards on their backs and I ended up on my back about 10 yards from where I was standing.

I always hunt by myself and usually take two dogs...my old dog and a yearling. I was in a little patch of timber that had a some old farm equipment and some feed and water tanks.

The dogs ran a track for a while and finally come treed. They were circling an upside down cow tank and I could see a dig mark where something had burrowed up underneatch of it.

The dogs were on one end and I was on the other. I got to thinking that there might be a skunk under it so I just kind of picked it up a little bit to take a peek. Just as I got it up, I could see a old possum all hunched up under it. I got to thinking that we were going to have an educational session right then and there so I went ahead and flipped the tank up on its side.

There was a huge boar coon on my end of the tank. Not really sure who was more suprised, me or him. He reacted quicker than me and ran right between my legs, took a left turn and ran right up the tree next to the tank. The dogs ran right by the possum, between my now legs and come treed.
