I never treed it but my Uncle lived 3 mile's North of a little country zoo and treed a monkey behind his house. Also shot two wild boar, caught a bobcat in his garage, had a parrot on his porch, trapped a lama in his barn, seen a male African lion walk through his pasture, ect. All in mid state Indiana, zoo was closed down LOL.
Best one was a week after he seen the lion he went out to check on the cows at night after they started belliering and he shined his light across the pond and seen eyes bouncing towards him, he thought for sure it was the lion coming after him and SHAT his pants when he got stuck in the mud trying to run to the house. It was another monkey, LMFAO.

Had two young dogs run a track when I was bear hunting 15 years ago and treed solid. When I got to the douglas fir that was 2 feet at the base and leaning out over the river there he stood perched about 20 feet up the tree, a **** coyote. After shooting it out for them the shock collars had smoke coming off them all the way back to the truck.

Probably the biggest surprize I had was a snow white albino coon. A friend and I cast are dogs into a cut cornfieildand they struck right off and drove towards the river and the tree line. when they treed we went in and my old dog was locked down solid and I shined up there and way up there I could see this white thing. Well I was a little down thinking old John had treed a white barn cat till I squaled and this pink eyed coon turned around and looked at me. Did n't take long to get the old 22 out and bring him down. It was a boar coon and a decent sized one. Had him full mounted, sorry I don't have a photo here. If you looked close in the right light you could make out the rings of slightly darker colored hair on his tail.Since then I have seen several other albinos treed in the same area.

Had my neighbor call me one day and told me I needed to get hom my two plotts had soemthing treed up a pole in my yard. this was back before the time when everybody carried call phones. I got there and found the had the cable TV guy up the pole and he had been up there for over and hour. LOL!

I think we all wish the dogs would put more cable guys in trees maybe they'll show up the first hour of thier eight hour window.And it'll be cool to see a monkey as long as it don't throw feces. keep em coming guys and gals. thanks chris

Grey foxes will tree if dogs push them good, out west alot of us hunt them on purpose and expect the dogs to tree them.

The strangest...well funniest thing I ever treed was a bushy tailed wood rat. I watched the whole race from start to tree and you would have thought they'd treed a bear. I was laughing too hard to get mad.
I did once have a dog strike off the truck on a big bull frog that was sitting in the road. I had to back up to see if for sure thats what he was barking at...but I think he was just eyeballing it not smelling it.

put the dogs on a cat track a dozen years ago,dogs went out cold trailing,started heating it up,locked up treed.The snow was comming down heavy so we headed in there direction.upon getting into the tree.I was expecting to see a bobcat,and what i saw was a house cat that had been living out in the wild for quite some time.The strange thing about the cat upon further inspection was that it must of stuck its little head inside of a coffee cup when it was younger,and when it backed out,the lid come off over its neck and stayed the cat had grew with this around its neck for quite some time.it was quite a sight to see with its poor head swollen up and body shaped like a wedge.

While training young dogs just south of the Okefenokee swamp several years ago we had put on a big hog. They cold trailed for a while and locked down bayed, we thought!!!!!! When we got in there they werent bayed but treed. It was a great big panther which FWC will swear doesnt exist in that part of Florida. It also was wearing a great big State of Florida tracking collar. But there are any in the state except for in the Everglades. Yeah Right!!!!!

Psiskjr

We got pics but I dont know where they are now.

I believe it. Any wild animal can show up anywhere there are no boundaries. If the animal can tolerate the climate it will show up. They say there a none up here in maine either I bet there are a few maine has a lot of woods and at the end or beginning of the apalachian trail...a good wildlife corridor north to south....If you ever find those pics that would awesome.....

were you using a monkey to tree that weasel...lol..thats cool.

I treed two buzzards, a coon, a grey squirel, a possum and a white mouse in the same tree. The mouse acted tame and we were over a mile from the nearest house and about a half mile from a county dirt road.
I guess the dogs are a little trashey.

I had a pup running loose at my house years ago that put a ground hog up a tree. It was the first thing she ever treed so it had to come out.

I have heard of wildcats all my life and did not know what one was until my dogs treed one about 15 miles SW of Menard, TX. I walked up to the tree and shined what I thought was a half grown bobcat but when I shot it out, I saw that it had a tail like a raccoon.
I was afraid to haul back to town as I was afraid it was some type of endangered species. The next morning I pulled up the critter on the internet and found that it was a true wildcat and the original ones were imported from Africa years ago.
Adios,
Gary

P.S. I have not seen another before or since.

A few years back some coyote hunters treed a wolverine near Ubly Michigan. For one thing, wolverines are not found in Michigan, and if they were, it has been over 200 years ago since one has been spotted. The female wolverine made it to the Minden City State Game area and lived for several years before being found dead last month by a beaver dam. DNRE did posted the poor girl and found she died of natural causes. She was around 9 years old. A friend of mine and a guy he teaches school with have tracked this animal since it was first spotted and have published pictures and articles about her for the past 5 or so years. She truly was our state mascot. Now she is gone.
