Not a very productive night, one den and two coons for my hound. Sure hope some of you other Iowa hunters had a better night.

Striker had solo then him and daddy split treed. 3 coon in 25 minutes. Then they got fur happy and went brain dead. My own fault for not hunting them enough. They settled down got three more after some attitude adjustments got 3 more.

My night

Treed 1 den, 3 times, then a double. Shot the bigger coon, and another den. Walked around with a young dog in 25 acres or so, and she never got struck.

We treed 14 on Sat night but we really had to work for them. Hunting was really tough when the frost 1st set in. We had the best luck between 1am - 4am.

Sunday night we treed 4 by 9 pm. The windy was blowing pretty bad so we hung it up after that.

Anyone sold any yet or heard what the average prices on the pelts are for this year? I'll bet they are not as high as what most heard they would be.

Been on vacation all week and hunting the tar out of a couple pups I started this summer. They are both doing a fine job and will wear a pair boots out and put a dent into the coons around here. Haven't even had the old dog out yet this week.

We got 3 this size the other night - 35+ pounds:



The hound behind it will be 3 tomorrow that gives you more of an idea how big they were.

Picture isn't that great it was taken with my phone.
