[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1773000, member: 42782"] Eddie Gains, our horse shoer in Texas, was an older guy who use to hunt coons with hounds. He said what they did was drive out in trucks with a cage full of hounds. Then opened the cage and the dogs offloaded in all directions, found, bayed up and treed the coons. They shot 'em out of the trees. Eddie gave me a great recipe for coon but it was lost in the fire. He said they would also make camp fire cook bacon and drink alcohol. Sometimes they would just hang their coats on the barb wire fence next to the road and go home. The next morning all the coonhounds would be resting by the coat. One moonlit night some of our hillbilly-like friends took us on a coon hunt. Pappy let the dogs out on the ranch and they ran in all directions. Soon we heard them bay something up and they traveled all over the countryside with their beautiful music. Then, we heard hounds had been joined by a bunch of yap hounds. The people over on the hill owned a pack of chihuahuas. The hounds must have ditched the short legged chihuahuas, because they came back chasing something to the creek. They bayed treed, the howl they make while looking up. We went down there with flashlights. There was a coon up in a cedar tree and the best hound Bell was way up on a lower branch clawing at the trunk trying to get that coon. No one had brought a gun so we all leashed up the dogs and went home. [/QUOTE]
