Finally quit trashin

Been a while since I have been coon hunting. Took Wild Woman Sue and Jack tonight.

Got on one quick and they put it up and yotes got on them before I could get to the tree. It didn't bother Sue at all but Jack said no more. That was his first dose and he didn't leave me the rest of the night.

Moved and Sue got on an old track and took her a while to get it going. When she did it was the longest track she has ever ran. She did a good job and put it up. I am happy as to what she has turned into.

"yotes got on them" tell me what this means...(Not a coon hunter here)......

I believe he means coyotes came into the area where his dogs were treed.

They came in on them when they were treeing harassing them and ran them off the tree. If you haven’t ever heard it I really can’t describe the hell they can raise.

You seldom get lucky enough but if you do with a moonlit night or a red lens you get to put a bullet in one or two when they do it. I have only got to shoot them twice all the years I have been coon hunting. They know if you are there most times.

I can only imagine trying to deal with that at night. At least your dogs are a good size. I had a pair run my 8 month old Brittany to me bird hunting. Only one got away.

Those two aren't as big as they look. The female is in the 30s, male is in the 40s. My OMC dogs are much larger.

Put you a couple feeders out. That is what I used to do when I messed with pups quite a bit. Let her get a couple easy ones and then make her work for them you will know pretty quick if she likes it or not.

The absolute easiest coon feeder to make is take a tire on a wheel and drill 4 - 2" holes in the sidewall. Then fill it with corn and then fill that concoction with water. It will sour in about a week or two depending on how hot it is. You will have any coons around soon. Oh I forgot to add if you have any bears or hogs around find a sapling that will fit through the hole in the wheel of that tire and cut it off about 4' high. Put the tire/wheel combo down on the sapling so they can't turn it over or roll it down the hill before you fill it up.

May give that a try, got some resident coons down in the creek bottom behind the house, they should be easy enough...no bears or hogs though, just neighbors that'd think I was mashing in corn for a run

Yep, that is exactly what it smells like. And be glad you don't have bears or hogs. 5 years ago we didn't have hogs, we are wrapped up with them and that little female loves them. They are a constant source of her getting lit up.
