Coon hunting with Rat Terriors
Now, since the coons are denned up, we have been using rat terriors to get them out. Has anybody else done this, I never new these tiny dogs could be so vicious, or just that dumb. Last night we got 7, one of our terriors pulled a half alive coon out of the hole, by its snout, the coon screaming the whole way. Its is real fun to watch a 15 pound dog rip in half a 30 pound coon!

RE: Coon hunting with Rat Terriors
thats a new style of hunting i guess. never heard of that happening. when we get one in a den tree we just say bag it we'll just tree it another nite. ya coon prices maybe up but ill tell you one thing i learned quickly youll never ever come close to making money with hounds.

Illegal as hell here, we can't bother them once they're in their den. Same with rabbits and squirrels, and we can't use another animal to do it anyway. Big fine.

RE: Coon hunting with Rat Terriors
I have heard of doing it. As a matter of fact there were some guys hunting here about a week ago and got 42 in 3 nights. They hunted the stick piles and old abandonded houses. I generally just use a spotlight, or my lab/shorthair cross and my friends blue tick/black and tan/ walker cross. I was acrually hoping to eventually get a pack of terriers. Our other dogs cant dig through through stick piles like those little boogers do.
