I have a friend that loves to coon hunt. He has even won the World Championship several years ago.
Anyway we got to talking and I told him that I needed to eradicate some coons from some of the land I hunt. The land has never been coon hunted and in fact we haven't even deer hunted it in 3 years.
We turned the dogs loose around 7 last night and were done by 10 with 5 dead coons. What a blast, that Gamo air gun is pretty bad on a coon.

We were hunting walker hounds and even worked a young 6 month old pup. Of course when i went to load up the blue tick puppy at my house, my wife put the brakes on and said not taking her unless I get a GPS tracking collar.
Oh well it was fun. Going again this weekend. Got to save the turkey eggs.
Looks like a great night.
Fun!
That looks fun, I would like to try it some time.

Sure makes me miss my hounds. I had black and tans and redbones. We ran pretty much year round. Bear most of the summer and into fall, then coon, then coyote all winter.
wish my walker would start having nights like that agin lol.
Nothing like a good race.
