It’s March 1st and in the mid 50’s today here in central North Dakota, the warmest day yet this year! After spending a few weeks waiting out the cold, for me this first warm day marks the beginning of our coon hunting season which runs year round. We have some great hunting up here with ample wooded river bottoms, farmland, a gazillion acres of wetlands and lakes, some wooded hill country, lots of public land, cool summer nights and just about no competition for places to run your hounds. You don't have to worry about your hound ending up in someone's back yard. There’s also a coon club that holds licensed hunts with some friendly members and exceptional hounds.

With a good looking prospect of my own to work on, 2008 is going to be a great year! Happy hunting and stop by for a visit or hunt if you are passing through. I'm located just off I-94.

What part of N.D. do you hunt? I hunted at Douglas, Wyoming many years ago and sure enjoyed that. Huge coons.

rick,
good looking hound.... mentioned to you before have hunted in n.d. many-many yrs. ago... near hazen, bealuh along knife river, shelter belts, were quite a few coon.. also around garrison... still have family in bismarck and jamestown... have not been out that way for many years.. always enjoyed visting the peace garden state, lot of good people, well guess not a lot, but good ones... used to work for a guy that rented boats-sold bait etc. below the dam at garrison, was about 14 yrs. old at the time... if ever get back out that way will try to get in touch... continued success with your dogs... did you say coons are always in season???

Yes, coon season is always open here. This is a big waterfowl and pheasant state and the G&F department wants them gone. I only kill a few each year and tell my bird dog buddies that I kill them for their cause to raise more birds. Glad to hear from you again. I hunt the tailrace below the dam a couple times a year. Can be good some nights.

Travis, he's just a pretty face and I'm sure you could find a better pup elsewhere. Besides, last night he developed a new bad habit of slobbering all over the tree. Never had a dog do that before and I knew it was only a matter of time before his faults would start to appear. I'm thinking maybe it's because of all the c**p hanging around is neck! He was probably loosing his breath. Happy hunting, Travis!
