I got a buddy with a red bone in Wisconsin that trees coon, flushes and retrieves pheasant, and retrieves duck on the water.

My son was taking a coon out of a trap to put in a roll cage. My chocolate lab was there and when my son pulled the coon out with the catch pole Gus grab it and the figh was on. The coon was on my labs head and they were a goin at it. The coon broke away and run and GUS was on his tail coo treed and Gus was hammer down on the tree. My nieghbor seen the whole thing and was cracking up. Gus now hates a coon. I haven't actually taken him hunting and not sure if he will track and tree but I know if I have a caged coon anywhere close to him he goes nuts.

When I was young we had a Cocker Spaniel that would hunt whatever you wanted him to hunt... rabbits, pheasants, woodcook, grouse, squirels, barn rats... but he would also tree a coon in the barnyard and back then coon were big money.

I heard a feller had a monkey he used to hunt with. He said it would hold a pistol in one hand and the light in the other, and when he got to the tree he would climb it and shoot the coon out. He stopped hunting him though he said he couldnt find anybody to hunt with him. He said one night he talked the feller that owned the top stud dog in his town to go hunting with him. He told him his monkey could tree more coons than that stud dog and the man wanted to prove him wrong. So sure enough they cut them loose and the old stud dog left the monkey in his dust he struck and within minutes he had treed. They walked into the tree with the monkey and when the got there it it was a big tree with vines all over it. they couldnt see a coon but the dogs owner insisted that there was a coon in the tree. So the monkeys owner handed the light and the pistol to the monkey and sent him up the tree. The monkey stayed gone for about 10 minutes and they could hear him searching the tree and shortly they heard the monkey coming down and when he got to the bottom of the tree the monkey walked over shined the light on the dog and shot him right between the eyes. The dogs owner starts yelling and crying and he looks at the monkeys owner and asks why did he do that. The man said that monkey never did like a lying dog.

When I was around 12 our mailman seen that i was a subscriber to Fullcry and asked me if I wanted to go cooning with him which I jumped at because at the time I didn't have a hound. He picked me up in his pickup with no dog box and sitting beside him was a small shorthaired mutt about 20 lbs. Maybe a beagle X terrier mix. Turned loose and about twenty minutes later the mutt started whining and yipping. Mr Fairchild said lets go see what we got, 2 biguns stared back down at us. That silent mutt treed 4 more in the next hour. LOL

My granfather in-law had a beagle years ago that they would hunt rabbits all day and get the lantern and tree coon all night. Folks around the area would borrow him all the time.

The strangest thing, well, it actually wasn't a dog. First of all, I have coon hunted for a many years, and I had a Animal Damage Control business for 3 years. In addition, I have trapped coon since I was 8.

One time we were out in the woods. I got a good nose full of coon scent and I told me buddy I smelled coon, and the nearby tree was probably a den tree.

Well, there was actually a coon sitting up in the tree ... so i guess ya can say i treed my very own coon.

By the way i am silent on track and tree.lol
