RE: Coon Hunting
 

i don' t no if wernerjd is just playing around , but i hunted in illinois a couple of times and we turned the dogs loose at 6.00 and got back before 10 with 5 coons .i have heard of guys treeing 30 coons easy in one night. it can happen, who else.

We usually have problems with our dogs in the rain, if we go ahead and let loose, we' re usually lucky to get 3-4. We don' t typically let loose in the rain/snow/high wind anymore though, we get enough in fair weather that we don' t need to hunt when we' re guaranteed to have problems, if we' re already out, then we' ll keep at it, but when we get 8-12 coons on average a night (last 5years), and we go out three nights a week, we just don' t need the 3-4 that we MIGHT get on bad weather.
