I see no difference in turning them into a bucket than dropping them around a cornfield, peanut field, fruit orchard, etc. Think about it! I do it and you do too!

I went and paid $250 a night in entries and I would have paid for a feeder bucket so I could see a coon some where. There is places where they are needed because parts of this country don't have coon and what they do have they need a reason to come to the places that we had to hunt.

Most of these type hounds can't even strike a coon in wild let alone ever tree one. A porch poddle can tree a coon on a feeder bucket but does that make it a GRAND NITE CHAMPION coon hound? I don't think so.... Does a hound treeing a pop up coon off of a feeder bucket prove its ability to strike and tree a coon? It's not allowed in the UKC hunt test program so why are they allowed in nite hunts that really matter? Who decides on these rules and reguations anyways? If being the use of Feeder Bucket continue to be allowed then change the degree earned as being Feeder Bucket Champion... All coon hound breds are so far out of wack now you can't even hardely find a hound like we once had way back before registration papers and feeder buckets. We need to get back to our Heritage some way some how. For those who agree with this statement we can do our part if we work at it. So how many Houndsmen are out there or are we all just feeder bucketmen.....

Read the first line in your signature.
I start pups on them and don't hune the other dogs on them EXCEPT in comp. hunts. The only way you have a fare chance and the ones in your cast has a fare chance to win is if you have some out too.
I don't like it but till someone comes up with how to enforce a rule against them there is nothing you can do about it.
I can dig a hole with post hole digers and fill it up with soured corn and you will never know it is there. So how would you enforce a rule like that.

Shoot just fill those buckets up with HI-PRO feed and set back for some good long races off them, does 'em good. I found some on sale years back and stocked up , after my ol' buddy said something about easy coons off a feeder. Saw him a couple days later, after hearing a long drawn out race from my front yard. He said he thought his calendar was off, as it said July but the coons ran like January and rut was in full swing ! He said he expected one long race, as he knew the old boar was still there, but when he got about the same out of the next 2 , he went and checked to see what I had done, found the new food in the feeders. Told him he should have opened the lid and let the dogs fill up so it would be a little more equal. Field or feeder, you have to have a dog that can and will find them.
