When I was young I coon hunted. Loved the sound of our hounds bawling through the dark woods.
Had carbide light...so it was dark.
I loved a book called where the Red Fern Grows.

Some of my best memories are coon hunting in the hills and mountains, sliding down slopes on my hand and the side of my boots to bottom out faster, getting to those dogs. Running, sometimes. Conversations had on slopes and creekbanks with the lights off, just out in the moonlight. Finally being big enough to not fall asleep. Getting to shoot my first one out. Old Joe, Susie, The Blue Dog, Sally, Long Cod. RC Colas and Rallyburgers and thermoses of coffee. Dead coons on tailgates and happy dogs. The excitement of the dogs getting on a cat instead of a coon. Whew, good times.

That bear is huge. If he treed, I would all the dogs clear when he dropped.

Those that big don't usually tree. Too heavy to climb. They usually go in a hole or if they can't get to one they back up against a tree or a rock and start hurting dogs.

If it gets below 0 and windy they may go to den and not come out until spring.

Thats what I am afraid of. Think some have already laid up. Only been running the smaller ones lately.
