EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

So as not to jack the other thread I figure I'd answer you here....ANYWHERE lol

There is a good friend of mine north of you around call/old salem by the name of
Alton Davison,he could hook you up w/ a good con hunt or if you ever make a tri to New Caney Tx. I will take you once deer season cools down some. I use kemmer curs and cur dogs for treeing coon and occasionally a hound,I use my terriers for in the ground work, brush piles old barns etc.  You can tree coon most anywere.

Here are some pics for you.

question...wat do u do with a coon after u tree it or catch it i mean do u shoot them or wat and if so wat do u do with them after u shoot them? i just always wondered cause i have these guys that live behind me and i always wondered wat they did with there coons

Yea we harvest some for meat.

oh i see thanx i just always wondered

Good pics Bryant! How did you get Peanut's feet stuck to all those trees for the camera?!  ;) ha He looks like the REAL deal. How old is he?

That's some great pics! I grew up coon hunting, now just hog hunt.

Lol....I quit posting pics of him on another forum cause I was accused of using the same pic all the time ha ha ...he is fun to hunt and pretty solid, he is aroun 5 or 6 y/o.


Thanks, I like to do both...when I goto my spot alot of times I take both sets of dogs,hog hunt first then coon hunt after that.

Thanks y'all.

Hey Bryant, ever want another terrier guy to tag along sometime? I have a jagd female.

Sean

Sure were you at? what do you hunt the dog on?

I'm in Spring. She's been started on hog, coon, and squirrel. She got on a nutria just once. Most recently we've been working mostly hogs with her. She's a few months shy of 2 years old.

ok this may sound stupid but how do you hunt your dogs when you go coon hunting im askin cause im just a hog hunter but i road my dogs i might get into coon hunting to

How ever the spot allows....free cast n walk,road hunt w/ the truck or 4 wheeler,they will hunt bout any way I want or need to.

Man thanks for the reply.I had no idea till my nephew told me u posted.I will come to your area any time just let me know.Thanks again.

machine73,as soon as deer season is over or he lets me back in there twoard the end we can get her over there w/ mine and tree some coon and maybe dog some diggin as well,Scrappy (one of my patts) should have 2 litters on the ground from him by then so he will need to be hittin the woods too.

Mex, same offer for after deer season...I have a real good place to go w/ plenty of coon.

Thanks for the invite and I will gladly take you up on it after deer season. I'd love to see the Patterdale work.

How would you start hunting a coon dog?  I have a blue tick and a blood hound that I have started. I trapped a coon and drug it in the trap and got the dogs to trail it and bayed it. How do you get them to bark at a coon in the tree? Is that something they learn on their own?  Should I keep training them with one in the tree? I dont have an older dog to run with them, so I am curious to learn what I should do. Thanks

How old are they? the bloodhound likely will not make the greatest treedog,the bluetick should tree way better. You are sortea on the right track for pups but after they trail it pul it up a tree and let them tree or tease them up and encorge them to tree,you can also turn one out w/ a head start and see if they can trail n tree if but don't over do it,the woods are the best place. Treeing is mostly genetic vs learned/taught but some can be taught to some degree it reall depends on there age,set up some feeders were you hunt them,I hang tires in trees about 8' high,fill w/ corn n water put a few of them out 100-150 yds apart near a creek or slough and keep taking them in that area to inrease there chances of finding your target game.Were are you located at?

Mr Underdog,

     I think you and the Mrs need to come out to Flatonia with Mandi and I. Bring the hogs dogs, and the coon dogs. I just called the ranch mgr, said he trapped 58 coons in about 2 months. Said he quit trapping them, because he was tired of having to mess with a coon in the trap every morning. There is a couple miles of live creek and hardwood bottoms, and some wood thickets with feeders spinning. See what your schedule looks like, and maybe we can hit it the week after Thanksgiving. We'll just pile in my truck and make the drive. I know Mandi has been wanting to go on a coon hunt, and this would be a place that has plenty of room for the dogs to stretch out ;)

If yall do that I am bringing Lulu so she can see what she is supposed to be doing on dang tree!

Matt,

   Sounds good to me. He said the "park" is full of them along the creek, also the creek at Jimmie's, and near the big oat patch. I've never been coon hunting, and Mandi has mentioned wanting to go several times. I think we would have a good time.

I have only been a couple of times but is FUN!  The neat thing about coon hunting is that there is sometimes a good bit of action when the coons are thick.  As someone used to walking to a hog bay, when you walk into the first tree it feels a little anti-climactic at first but it is still fun.  We got one in a hollow log one time and when it came out it was PO'd and jumped on the dogs went to woopin some a$$.  It can get a little western if there is only one or two dogs and a big coon.
Matt

You are right Matt, it is fun but different kinda fun. And them big coon can be rough and my dogs tend to be smaller....I will have to bring a terrier too just in case  ;)

A terrier always adds a bit of fun to whatever you're hunting!

Sean

The blue tick is a little over a year old and the blood hound is just under a year. The blood hound is my good friend's dog and the blue tick is his dads.  His dad said he always wanted a coon dog and said I can take him whenever I want. I can tell already that the blue tick is gonna be the better dog only working the blood hound bc he doesnt have a job. He does alright and really does not like a coon. I am located in yoakum, tx.

you wouldnt have a good started dog for sale would you im wanting a squirel dog

I have a few places that i can run coon dogs  on but dont have any coon dog just hog dogs i am in Cleveland TX let me know if you want to go

Ok guys been out the loop a while but im back.I ready to go coon hunting and will bring the food and beverages so someone let me know.Thanks Mex

Next weekend or two we can make a hunt if you have time one night.

Man let me know im ready and can come up early and grab a motel or so.Not big on driving back just need a day advance and thursdays or weekends are real good.Thanks again.

the picture of that ol bluetick  behind the cur dog shows me that ol blue dog didn't tree first  an he is backing the cur dog up

Say what???

What pic are you talking about?

The 8th and 11th picture that cur dog treed that coon first that bluetick is doing right by backing him up got a lot of pictures of my walkers doing that

I sure do like that bluetick in the 5th and 6th pic. He sure is purdy and looks like he knows what to do.

Thanks, in the 5th pic he was a year and a 1/2 or so and slpit tree in as swamp on a COLD night lol  the 6 th pic was the night he started treeing at 6-8 months old.
