Coon is a bit chewy and greasy. Most are made into stew or chili. So I am to understand from those who have been to a deer camp and that was what was in the pot for dinner. Lots of them are hunted and eaten around here.

Squirrel and Possum as well.

When I was a kid a guy bought a couple of black and tans to hunt coon.

Was told he spent something like $5-600 for the pair.

(!950's money)

First time out, they rounded up a rabbit.

Guy shot them on the spot.

I think it is legal to hunt coon with dogs - not for deer.

I know a coon dog trainer that makes functional dogs for a price.

East Texas - the south in general. Water and cover makes a happy habitat.

I know things are bigger in Texas, but I still don't believe you. :-)

It totally goes against their nature/instinct.

I've heard of many, many instances of dogs killing opossums, bet not one the other way.

Tell you what, a terrier makes a lovely fish. I could do that for you now. Legs off, fins on, simple metal tube through the back of the head so it could breathe, bits of gold paint... Make good?

And who knows if you have a yearling that got left behind and the sow, the nasty one, got away.

Just don't get one cornered and have it come out and bite you in the eyes or snout. Then it is the neck before it runs off.

I've seen them put up a pretty good fight up here in Ontario - perhaps they never learned from the Mommy how to "play possum".

Raise as much ruckus with the neighbour's dogs as a small coon.
