I had one that I used to wear to Rendezvous and sold it. Just too warm to wear in June. Got me a nice felt hat to wear instead.

I really like the coyote hat that Les Johnson wears on his hunting show. I would like to have one of them. And it sure does look warm. Tom.

Semi, what kind(brand, model #) of trail camera took that picture of the coons? I've been thinking about getting one or two. Thanks. -Q

quake, that picture is from a Moultrie/Cabala's Outfitter 5.0. camera. It's no longer listed by Cabalas, but is exactly like the current D-50 except mine has a camo finish.

These cameras have mixed reviews on the Cabalas site, but mine has served me well for three years. I get about 700 pictures from a fresh set of six D-cell batteries. Response time is a little slow, but for the price I paid I'm well satisfied.

Here's the D-50 - http://www.cabelas.com/product/Hunti...3Bcat103867380

Here are some daytime pictures from that camera.

Semi you need to be stretching some furs. There is some coinage walking around under that feeder. Did you ever try calling in coons?? It really is a blast. And there can be some real fast action. Tom.

How do you (Call In) a Coon? never heard of that. I simply just sit in my backyard around the Bon Fire and cook some Winners and the Coons come running.

I use a FoxPro caller. They have separate "coon calls". You should try it some time. It really is alot of fun, and normally the raccoons come in fast and furious. I have had several attack my caller.

I just set mine up about 30 yards or so from what I consider a den tree. Then get covered up as best as possible and start calling. You will look up into the tree and see a bunch of heads popping out of the den holes of the tree. Then you go from there. I have a buddy who is a real tree climber. He shoots them as soon as they pop their head out. But I like to keep calling and really get them riled up. Then they come in on the caller and decoy with fervor!! Just like a coyote does. But a whole lot easier to call. Tom.
