well, i caught the coon that's been stealing chickens out of our coop, caught him in there. all i had was a target arrow ready, so i puta hole in him. he busted out the roof and was dragging the arrow thru the woods where one of our dogs, pops, was waiting. pops engaged him alone instead of waiting on the other 2 dogs to get over there. here's the result...... don't look if you're queasy, or in a place where you can't grab your package and give thanks.

the rip goes almost all the way around. the vet couldn't believe his red rocket man was only scuffed and he didn't have to be turned into a girl [:-]
he has to wear a lamp shade on his head for a week so he can't get at it.

Oh man! He got ahold of your dog when he had an arrow in him? Crazzy coons

Good news all the way around.

And don't think for a MINUTE that you guys wouldn't be wearing lamp shades, too.....if you could reach YOUR rockets.

Wow, close call. Im going to arrow a couple of those masked bandits this fall in honor of your dog.

I am after the coon that got into our chickens right now. There is a live trap set and I scout around each night but I am carrying the 20gauge. No field point here .

Poor guy, i feel bad for him.

gweeee!!!

Wow, I'm glad to hear he is still a he.

What was the end result for the coon?

we heard pops cry while the fight was on, and jamie said 'go do something about it.' i'm standing in my boxers and no shoes at this point. 3 dogs and a coon 20 yards into the thick woods. i looked at her and said 'you've got to be kidding me, why do you think we buy their dog food?'
i think she now understands why i've been telling her to never engage a coon at close range.

they finished the coon by the way. 2 elkhounds and a mix of some type. the mix is only a year - but she's quick and agile and was the leader when the fight had drug to where i could see. i don't hunt them, but they spend all day hunting the bowl we live in. the female elkhound is hunting crazy. she would make someone a fine coon and/or bear dog. got an incredible nose.
