my buddy Jim Shephard emailed me these pics of the coons he got last night with his Cameron bred bluetick NITECH PR Shephard's Blue Midnight Smoke (4 wins toward Grand). The biggest weighed 34#. We routinely shoot 20 - 25# boars but this one is HUGE SOW! Not bad for a full moon hunt.

Thanks for the compliment guys, We treed these 5 Friday night on a very bright moon, and 4 more extra large ones last night in the rain. I have had alot of fun getting this hound to were he is at today. He was 4 years old on the 20th of this month. He hunts deep with a big clear ball mouth, and is very accurate at the tree. He has an exceptional nose and cold trails coon and bobcat nice. After a pretty substansial injury caused by a bear last fall he decided he prefers the cat and coon. He needs one first for Grand night and 2 for Grand show. I have been thinking of offering him for stud, but stay pretty busy hunting.

Never ask a man what kind of dog he has. If he has a hound he'll tell you, if he does not, you don't want to shame him by asking.

Those are huge coon but they don't look that much bigger than the huge coon here( although there aren't many huge ones here) they just look jelly belly fat. Can you tell me what they have been eating there that they get that fat on?
