Oldsmobile63,

I seldom use a cage coon any more. Especially today, many breeds have enough tree that cage coon is actually more detrimental than a positive experience.

i dont show em a coon of any type till they are showing signs of being ready....


they run free as much as possible...once they start treeing squirrels or barn cats it is time to keep them put up most of the time and time to start them....show them a caged coon and let it go and let them tree it..if they do a nice job i knock the coon down for them...then its off to the woods at nite to find a hot track...if they are ready, thats usually all it takes...
