One of my friends called yesterday wanting to know if I wanted a coon they had caught getting into their trash. I put it out on the edge of the field in the cage and turned Swag and another puppy loose. They found it but the coon was very fiesty and they didn't know what to think of it and shyed away. This was the first time Swag had ever had any experience with an actual coon. I hooked a chain to the trap and began to drag it back and forth. Swag went ballistic! He was face to face with it biting the cage, baying it for every breath. I let him fight at it for a few minutes and put him back in the truck and turned the coon loose. Waited about 10 minutes and turned my older dogs loose along with Swag. Swag hit the track and took it the direction it went but never struck until my old dogs got it going. When they struck, Swag got right in there with them! The coon went through 2 fences and Swag got hung up on the second one but after we got him through, he went to the old dogs and barked at the tree a few times and again when we got there. They ran it about 200 yards. I probably won't take him again for a week or two and let him keep growing up but it was a very positive training session and he did great for his 3rd trip to the woods. I don't like to show a dog many caged coons but I do think it's important at least to introduce them to what we're after. August-September is looking right for hunting him regularly.
Take care! Simon.
simon anyone that can do the job that you do in the world we know today has got all the patience to work young dogs, I look for big things to come from NtCh Clyde an Swag. If you can read this thank a Teacher, Thanks Simon...
