good to see another coon hunter!!
i really think if there was only one hunting i could do for the rest of my life i would take coon hunting behind a good Walker dog or 2...
when i was 5 or so, dad and I got our first walker...we went through a couple...raised a couple pups..and finally found the dog we were looking for...then when i was 11 or so, dad lost the time to hunt and we moved and couldnt have hounds in the back yard

i went clear till 17 or so before i got to coon hunt again. i ran with my buddy a couple times here and there...the past year or so, ive been hunting with him pretty hard. he took me to a couple nite hunts this year, i got to be there when his dog was made Grand Nite. to say im hooked again is an understatement....
dad is looking to get a promotion and says if all goes well, he will beable to get back into hunting and we moved yet again, and with a fence, we can certainly get hounds in the backyard...before i knew this i already had it planned to get me a pup sometime next year...late summer/fall/winter...i want a pup so i can train it in the spring and not have to worry a ton about hunting it in the winter..it will be my senior year in college, so i wont have a ton of time....dont know if my plans will go through...i got alot of thinking to do...id REALLY love to have a started hound to take with me after i graduate and move, but gotta think about where i might end up, and if i will have time to devote to the hound...we will see...
temps are finally starting to break, and its breeding season...should be back to running this weekend...my buddy was begging me to go home tonite to hunt, but i wont make it...he was talking about qualifying his dog for the world hunt and once its qualified he said i could take it from there if i wanted...zones is about 2hrs away from us and he said we could go and he would let me run the dog. just gotta see when the zones are and if i will be around..probably going out of state for work this summer so if they arent before May i wont make it...
