Sometimes
I'm decent with a squaller I think. In 20 years hunting I've squalled several coons down.
My theory:
Some coons ( maybe 1 out of 10 ) are very nervous and can possibly be squalled down. The rest are not going to move much. Some coons won't even look at you ( plain refuse to ).
It does improve your odds of squalling down coon if the coon doesn't have a barking dog at the bottom of the tree. The past couple years I've been hunting a dog that shuts up at the tree when I arrive ( I don't like it, but thats what he does ) anyway I noticed I was able to squall a few more down than usual since hunting this dog. I actually quit squalling them down to the dog in hopes I could get the dog to bark more when I'm around.
You also might try this, while squalling try shining your light ( bright light ) above the coon, then lower your light as the coon moves down, keeping the light shining above the coon.
