Boy, the coons are really running long these days. I guess the rut is in full swing. I ran one the other night up the road, to the right, back to the left, back to the swamp, to the left then the right and finally treed. He would not look immediately; I had to really look for him. Anybody else running coons far until they tree? I have always heard that they run far this time of year. I was so proud of my hounds that I bought them a steak a piece. Boy what a run!!

Do they normally come in heat this time of the year? I figured it was in the fall when the deer come into rut.
