I live in northwest Ga. Around here we have thin coons. We do have coons but there's not that many, that means the dogs HAVE TO HUNT for them. Then, the track they run across isn't allways hot. That means they have to be a TRACK DOG. Theres so much more to REAL COONHUNTING than so many folks realize. I keep it real. How do you like it?
Yeah- we have thin coon, and we ALSO have small patches of land in between roads, nobody owns more than a few acres in one stretch (so you may turn loose on land you have permission to hunt on, but very seldom will you stay on that property), the people that'll pull up and just turn out on any creek they see,people that trap your hunting spots, and people that shoot everything they tree year round, and I DON'T have all night to try to find dogs or hope they haven't been stolen or run over. For the record, I do realize that this isn't the way ol' grandpappy did it back in the day (for that matter, it isn't the way WE did it 20 years ago), but then again, I guess alot has changed since the good old days.. So, yeah, I use feeders,and as far as I can tell, the coons aren't tame, and will run just as far and fight just as hard and climb just as high as non- feeder coon. And as far as the blocks go, I DON'T think they work as good as a plain old bucket feeder, but it's something to kill some time.
