She is a good one Sam. The best combo dog I have ever seen. The transition from squirrel hunting to coon was not a smooth one as she still wanted to tree squirrel at night and did. Now she stays on task at night and more importantly she knows the difference between the daytime game and the night time game. The mark of a intelligent dog. I have a younger littermate to her that is coming along nicely. More to come on her! ;D

How cool is that? Coon hunting with a good hound is a unique adventure.

$7 tops now skinned out to the fur buyer. If you put them up and dry and stretch around $14. You will not get rich but I do not do it for the money. I love a good treedog and I like killing things! ;D

Thats how it was down here way back then,,, We had a guy that bought the whole coons for the price of a skinned out fur, he ate the critters and everybody came out well that way, I have eaten a few when I was a kid, young ones are pretty good slow cooked in a dutch oven with some bacon grease.

I remember a year when I was a kid (yep a while back) Dad took 75 cents a hide, a good year was about 4 bucks I think, rats were going for 1.25 that year.
