Hoosier Man-
How about a dog catching a 'possum or skunk in a bean or corn patch?
...now that would be an aggravation.....!!!!!!!

I shouldn't be a butt, I do appreciate a hound that gets to the edge and gets treed. If they leave a hot track in the middle of a bean field race to do it. I'm not sure I would like that. If there pecking around in a bean field I would certainly like to see them get to the edge and tree a coon. I have hunted many hounds that start off good in a bean field race and soon it's just a coon following instead of a coon catching.

"I'm all about treeing coon and doing it in a timely fashion on a consistent basis."

So am I. But I don't have to train my dogs to only take certain tracks to do it.

"Let me ask you how many dogs have you finished to Nite ch? How about Grand Nite?"

What's that got to do with anything?

Questions!!

How many Gr Nt's, Nt's, open or cur dogs have you hunted with, trained, culled or have a picture of that has caught a big coon in waist high beans. I'm not talking about hear say, I mean actually heard them catch one and go drag them off the dead carcass.

I do agree with not scoring points in a hunt when a hard running coon a crop field decides he would rather die running as to take a tree.

What's more agravating? Catching one in the crops or listening to him play follow the leader all night? Up here there are coon you will never see if your dog won't run em down, cause they will not climb.

I know those bean field races are a pain, but I heard from an old-timer who visited Arkansas and hunted in rice paddies, or fields, or whatever they`re called. He said there were 4 Grandnights pleasure hunting! When the night was over all dogs had come in except for his, and he had to catch him. When he finally caught him, he said is eyes were swollen nearly shut and he was cut up pretty bad. Just passing on what I was told.

I have never seen a hound that could run to catch in a drilled bean field! And I've hunted with some pretty good hounds in a lot of drilled beans.
