This , although i do know a few people id like to set these all free on lol. That's why I have to dispatch them. Im partial honestly I grew up hunting them religiously with my uncle . He was top of state for years and competed in the world hunt every year. That man taught me so much as a kid , his trophys that line his garage walls are a sight to see. Something that used to be so common and popular among hunters now long gone..
My last coon dog I owned was out of his breed. Had it with me during the military in north Carolina. Was lucky enough to find a local die hard fellow coon hunter down there that would house my girl when I was on deployments. 4 months after I moved back she was stolen. Working at the asphalt plant I came home late one night to a closed an latched kennel with the lead an collar wrapped up nicely sat by her food dish. It killed me and I hated coming back here for that . Bugged me for awhile.
I've since only been coon hunting 3 times and was with my uncle just to show my son what it was all about... so as much as I hate these ferocious trash bandits it still gets me every time I pull the trigger. Reminds me of so many memories I used to love that are long an gone.
Anyhow that doesn't cover up the manacing damage they cause and I still feel it's right dispatching them.
