A friend from school last year came in one moring and said he went coonhunting with his uncle the night before and I asked him what kind of dogs he had.He told me a German Sheppard. I was kind of surprised that a Sheppard would tree a coon so asked him about it and he replies with "the dog is is suppose to tree the coon? , I thought you just brought the dog to kill the coon" ......So the spotlighters were definately out in full force last year.

Another thing if coonhides bring the kind of money yall's saying here in Mo where I live we're going to lose alot of good hunting spots north of me. It's cropland mostly owned by mennonites and amish. You just watch and see if they'll let us coonhunt when a pelt is a 10 dollar bill to them, no way. Them boys will have every trap known to mankind set and be killing ever coon they can see. It wont be any trouble for em to catch 8+ coon a night til they get em killed out.

I know what your sayin but where my Brother and I hunt most is some thick state land. With a Big stream/ small river (not floatable) running through it. Not place for shiners and to heavy for the weak to attempt.
Yes there are some spots that Ill more than likely be kick people off from but that happens every year whether the hides are $5 or $50. Thats just some folks ignorance.

I understand exactly what you mean had a farmer last year had 220's in buckets around his field. I had never gotten over there and it is land I dont have permission to be on but ended up coming out on it one night .one of those traps could have wrecked coon hunting for me all together. Im not sure how heavily trapped the stateland I hunt is. I havent ever seen any lines or anything

The biggest thing to remember is the fur buyers want large prime pelts. They aren't going to pay well for for small blue pelts. I wait until November 1st. Then anything but the small ones are fair game.

Tardawg and Bob,

What you say is true, but if you live in an area of high density and don't harvest them you are likely to end up with less than if you harvest them. Disease will take a coon population down quicker than anything else.

Spot lighters don't have a chance, have an old dog that barks all the time, get a good big mule, hang a cow bell on him, head down the river about fifty yards off the timber line and you will need a drop point about every mile. You may need a back up light for an all nighter. Guys and gals, I hope prices are around fifty cents a hide.

Hides get too valuable I'll have to go back to hunting the indian grounds in the mississippi bottoms. When hides brought 60 bucks tops I still didn't have any company down there. Ain't been in there in twenty years. Might have to do it for old times sake.
