That's the truth, I guess I understand where they're coming from, but they should go along a few times and see what actually happens in the timber. I believe it would change their minds

A lot of people around here won’t let you coon hunt once deer season opens and it goes the same way with trapping but once deer season is over they don’t care .

Tommie, Lipper was out of Clint per the pedigree.. Big deer antlers have just about ruined coon, fox, coyote and small game hunting here in the Midwest.. Hardly anyplace a young man or Kid can walk out the back door anymore and cut a dog loose or even jump shoot rabbits.. 14 cell phone activated trail cams would go off in the first mile and it'd look like a swat team rolling in.. Truly, we as hunters are killing our own sport.. My opinion anyways.. I have a number of farms I can still hunt Dec-Sept 1 and then I'm done during the hide season.. Primarily hunt state ground after that. Thank God we have a good amount..

Angela, you may live in one of the best kept secrets in the hunting world.. MS is a sports person's paradise.. I lived in Columbus a few years and really couldn't believe how few people and how much open ground..I've still got a number of dear friends there and travel back several times a year. Our son stayed on in Columbus, but just transferred to Corpus Christi TX so our visits will get less and less I fear. Great memories!!

I hunt treeing walkers. I’ve had them all at one time or another, but to me the walkers always start faster and there’s less trouble with trash. This was my dog Sam. He was out of My Only Reezen. I’ve always heard people talk about that once in a lifetime dog, and he was truly mine. I had taken him out of the pen about two months ago and put him on a chain under an oak tree so he could lay in the shade. Somehow he got loose and went in the road and got hit by a car in front of my house. He was a supper smart hound and a coon dog to the core. I’m going to miss him for a long time. [Linked Image]

Yes it is. There is a lot of land taken up by deer leases just like anywhere else, but all the nearby public land kind of makes up for that. They also have really great hunting and trapping laws....or rather lack of laws, lol. The hunting and trapping laws is why we chose MS over the neighboring states such as AL, TN, and AR.


Sorry about your dog, CajunMan. The redbone in my profile pic is tied for my favorite dog along with my childhood best friend. 2 years ago at Christmastime she left the house to go hunting and never came back. I'd never owned a tracking collar in my life up until that point, but I have one now.

Buddy I hunted a lot without a tracking system years ago, just like everyone else, but I wouldn’t turn one loose now without one for sure. Best of luck with your Redbone. I’ve hunted with some good ones of those too!

Coon hunting is a ton of fun. Have owned some good hounds over the years, and some not so good.

Good and bad come in all breeds. I think it really depends on what you are looking for, and honestly what color you like. Research the bloodlines of your breed of choice; traits, styles and size can vary within a breed. All depends on how they have been bred.

Dad would bring home 4 or 5 new dogs every weekend and we would hunt them all week. The ones that showed promise stayed and the ones who didn't went down the road the following weekend. When you hunt that many different dogs you become no stranger to skunks, possums, deer, hogs, coyotes and armadillos among other things like dogs that tree squirrels at night and dogs that bay beavers. It was somewhat of a blessing in the later years when we just settled down with a couple of good walkers to pleasure hunt and got away from the trade dogs. I'm pretty excited about how my blueticks are coming along and can't wait to get them in the woods. [Linked Image]

I've hunted most all of the breeds out there but my favorite are walkers.we were running young dogs one night in a standing cornfield. the dogs had opened and were moving the track towards us.we had a older gentlemen with us and he was leaning against a walnut tree. I told him you better move because that coon is headed for this tree. he just laughed and stayed where he was, few minutes later here came the coon went right over the top of his shoes and up the tree. another time we were moving to another hunting spot driving down the road and 2 coon ran across in front of us. we pulled over and were going to let the dogs out when I noticed the coon ran up a electrical pole. the bottom one kept pushing the top one up until they touched the wires and got electrocuted. we laughed and said we didn't waste any bullets on those 2. the old boy is 80 years old now and when I talk to him and we get to talking about coonhunting those 2 stories always get rehashed over and we still have a good laugh. his son and I still hunt together. ive always liked a silent dog on track with a good nose. got a 4 year old walker male out of hardwood breeding that's silent ,deadly accurate and really nice tree dog.
