Hunting with dogs is fun, but Raccoon hunting with an electronic caller is a real hoot too. It's to the sounds of Racoons fighting, there's a lot of Youtube videos on doing that too. They will come swarming out out of their trees in broad daylight to the call. I use an open sighted Winchester pump Model 62A 22 rifle and it's more fun than a barrel of Coons. Did ya get em? LOL
If you get a predator caller or tape, all the neighborhood cats will come running.
If you're using a predator call tape, and forget to bring the player-----
Don't use the casett player in your truck.
A buddy did that: Opened the doors, played it on the truck stereo, sat in the back, and waited.
When that bobcat jumped in the back with him & his buddy and was looking for that hurt rabbit-- business really picked up.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
had my cameras set out and I got a bunch of coons on the camera
trouble is I plan on coyote trapping while bow hunting and I bet you
dollars to doughnuts I get a few in my traps
may use them for bait though so it may work out
Hit em'hard

Coon hunting is a blast. My last time was about 15-16 years ago.
I've been wanting to find someone that does it and take out the grandson. I think he would have fun
Statute of Limitations expired about 50 years ago, but I used to Coon hunt with my uncle and his dog, Bobo, back in 1964 and 1965. We called it predator control around his 2 acre garden/truck patch in the summer of both years. Bobo was half Black and Tan, and half Beagle. After his first Coon fight, he was tough on Coons. Only problem we had doing predator control in the summer, was the bugs and briars.

What are you saying JoeJames, too old to hike 5/10 miles in pitch black, through creeks, swamps and God knows what? I am right there with you brother, but wouldn't trade those days for anything. I would still do it if I had the energy and could stay awake past 9 PM. LOL

LOL I'm right there with ya ABJ !!
Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
Ummmmm yeah it's a night time video with head lamps you seeing exactly what I'm seeing . Most coon hunting videos are like this . Don't know if you know much about racoons but their nocturnal tree climbers . Your either trapping them , calling them or using dogs. You can just spot and stalk them espically down here dude to out terrain.
And again I get that it's illegal where you live but you saying it's not hunting just because it's not legal where you live is ignorant. I don't really feel driven hunts where a bunch of guys push roe deer wild boar ect to shooters sitting in stands is really hunting but I don't live in these place nor to I know the hunting culture or the animals. Mabye that's just the best way to hunt those animals there.For me to say that wasn't hunting would be ignorant. Saw a guy the other night shoot an Impala with a .22 hornet . That's illegal here but that doesn't mean it's not hunting or automaticlly poaching even though the only people here who use a hornet on that size game are poaching usually

Brings back a lot of memories, 40 some years ago I was in high school and went coon hunting almost every night. I can still hear those hounds running now.
i haven't been coon hunting since i was 11 or 12 yo. ahhhhh......the memories.

Well, age enters into it too; I am 70 now, but when we did what we called "predator control" for Coons around the garden truck patch, was in the summer time, and we ranged out a pretty good ways too. Here in the Arkansas, Coon hunting season is legally done in the winter time.
BTW my mother's family was from Walker County, GA, but lit out from there to Arkansas in 1868.

When I was a young man, I am 80 now, I got to hunt cougar and bear with hound dogs.
The dogs belonged to neighbor.
Now that the bleeding hearts got hunting bear and cougar with dogs stopped we are getting over ran with them.
You can still hunt bobcat, fox and raccoon with dogs.
A fur bearer license is required for taking bobcat and fox.
I remember back when we were getting $80 per hide. It sure made it worthwhile!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Great video!
I thank you again Wolfdog91, you always bring a degree of “jazz” and interest to Boolits!
The video also underscores the true nature of hound hunting. Those that look down their nose at it need to understand that you don’t sick a bunch of dogs out and instantly kill everything in sight. Be it far from it, there is a lot of science, art and HARD WORK associated with it. The opportunity to harvest your intended prey does not “grow on trees”! (pun intended)
Best regards
