Some of you guys need to make a mechanical coon. Just a sound box you can put in a coon hide and slip in a coon bag so we don't have to have a live coon for a coon in a hole or coon in a barrel.
If you can make one with good sounds and maybe even wiggle the bag a little and be tough enough to take a hound biteing it I am sure you could make a fortune off it. Send me a free one for the idea. LOL
It would make it very easy for clubs to put on coon in barrel and hole type events.

Well if some one would develope one that could stand the dogs the time is here. It would make it easy for clubs to put on more family events, make more on enrties and I know there is some one on here that has the know how and equipment to make one. They would sell like hot cakes. I just think I should get the first one. LOL

I have worked on a few different types .. One used RC Truck Parts and is opperated by the radio control . I used 3/4" Unistrut for the track that was attached to a Tree and the coon would go right up the tree and back down..

I'l be making one using a Artifical tree about 12' high made of fiber glass with the track inbeded in the tree .. All will be on a Trailer.

I do want to add Coon Sound to it !!
