Redman,
That's a mess of coon there and your son and those red dogs did a fine job! Hard to do anything about a tree climber, just gotta love'em and enjoy them while you have them I guess...............I'm getting better but still not ready to go climb the mountains in the sub-zero weather.

Here is an older photo I found of a nice tom lion a friend and I ran down for him to take with a bow back in the day. That red dog there is my Copper dog, the one I always referred to as LionHeart. This is one of the tom lions she treed alone, and then we fed other dogs into the tree. It was a nine or ten hour deal on a blown in snow track, and she needed a little help from the old man at one point where the track was blown plum shut across a huge flat--we couldn't even see the track. I got a line on the tom and took her over to the rim of the next canyon, then hiked along it until she struck and game on..........
My blue Ryan dog was a yearling on this hunt and did not finish the track with LionHeart, as the blown in cold track was just over the head of most any yearling I've ever hunted.
I wrote a story for Bowhunter Magazine on the deal.........
