[tornadoeplayer14]

I agree with this guy i am 14 and it runs and my family and no 1 else does it any more so I started back up got a pregnant bluetick cant till she has pups

[KillerGurl20]

LOL!! I want to tree some coons I'm going to get a Beagle and train him

[IrishCoonhound]

Beautiful walkers

[whata86]

Can someone educate me on this. I'm not aginst hunting if you eat the animal. But why are they hunting raccoons? For what reason?

[IrishCoonhound]

@whata86 they raccoon hunt for the pelts mostly

[9716patrick]

@whata86 well okay here we go we hunt for population control and yes it is a fun sport if the modd were to strike me i would just throw the things in the creek ;)

[9716patrick]

@9716patrick mood



[Crazee111]

@9716patrick You'll be the first POS I would target when redneck season opens up. You pussy, population control???? Hunting for the sake of eliminating a life is murder, or whatever the reason you conjure up. You're too stupid to ever figure this out on your own dumb ass!

[rdk384]

IVe gotten into it coon hunting its the most fun you can have lost in the dark at night

[rdk384]

IVe gotten into it coon hunting its the most fun you can have lost in the dark at night just you and your dogs and friends

[cooncrazycraig20]

love this video

[wranglerboy3242]

coon huntin is one of the best sports in the world. ive got two blueticks pups they r turning into fine hounds. there aint nothing better then listing to the quiet of the night then u hear bawls of them hounds

[EdTheBadass]

lost art?

I jsut saw a raccoon remover page, where theyclear barns from raccoons from time to time. Coons vandalize and destroy lots of stuff. After 1 hunt there can be up to 40 raccoons down.

still though, kind of a lowlife hillbilly job, if you ask me :)

[79Testo]

Not many coons out in the country because everyone is hooting them. TONS in the cities. They need to rid the cities of these pests.

Aren't the dogs suscecptible of catching rabies from a bite or scratch from the coons?

[mianus11]

Good vid!!! The way I like to bait coons is I'll go and get a deccent looking car and put a nice stereo system in it with some nice spin rims. All you have to do is keep the doors unlocked and the keys inside and you'll have coons crawling all over it in no time. It's like a shooting gallery. Even my kids enjoy coon hunting.

[hornet579]

@mianus11 Win.

[kevluv93]

You guys stop making these racist joke I have a lot of black friends... 'til my dad sold them!

[785wiseman]

I forgot to say, we ate our coons. I miss that too.

[785wiseman]

I am 51 and live in downtown Boston. I miss coon hunting. When I was young in Attawaugan, Connecticut. No one goes any more, too many houses. This summer I am moving to Manhattan. I'll probably never go again. I treasure these videos. Thank you.

[Lonelydrifter33]

@785wiseman Coon Hunting is still alive in CT. Come back around, I have a few good hounds and i'm in the woods 6 nights a week.

This is a great video, I would love to see more like this done!

[EdTheBadass]

@785wiseman

you won`t, becasue instead of studying you shot damn rats, and now haven`t amassed enought wealth through your life to do whatever you like.

BOOH! mental irony kick to groin

[k001k1dzm4n14]

[a100nick]

Kyle-------Michigan's Biggest Redneck

[yourName2012]

[matthew1895]

@yourName2012

[monkeycrapification]

pelo - go smoke some pole you ignorant basturd

[MrBandit23]

keep em treed!

[gaaragirl72]

omg hunters suck balls all of them raccoons are the cuttist things in the thing. you red necks should be shot. sdee how you like it

[papasampson23]

fuck you stupid bitch, you need shot

[dougwg]

So you advacate shooting humans but not racoons, okay, I understand now.

[gaaragirl72]

no i mean how would u like to be an animal doing everything u could to survive and boom u get shot

[TeamTrogdor]

Are you serious about Raccons? WTF are you smoking? They are stinkin scavangers.

[codkiller23]

ok u dumbshit dont watcg the video u jackass

[griffy85b]

Don't trash talk it until you've tried it. I love hunting. If you would actually look at the sport with an "open mind....." You'd find that hunters tend to have very aesthetic personalities. Many hunters have a deep respect for nature and the animals they hunt. Don't be an ignorant tree hugger, have an open mind. Beauty can be found in many strange places.

[PeloMenosComoGajas]

i hate these american rednecks

[papasampson23]

yeah i hate forign people like you to dick face

[bitchincamaroz]

go pick some more fucking apples then

[pknucklesnaheem]

do they shoot the racoons?? & if they do I hope they eat them at least!

[kristiandelacruz27]

Raccoons are smarter than I thought.

[robotzik]

why do you hunt them?

[theassholecrustshit]

most likely for

1. pest control

2. the pelt

3. food.

4. training the dogs.

5. possibly sport......and you ask why do you hunt them?

[robotzik]

Well because it's not that nice... not that I'm all over saving the raccoons but it's a little silly how wethink we have the power for being able to shoot a bullet at something

it's pretty inhuman... Does that make sense, theashsolecrussshit?

[theassholecrustshit]

what are you talking about retard i can take a racoon down humanely with one shot instant death...its more humane than letting it get rabies and dieing a crazy slow death (not that it happens all the time). we have the power to do what ever we want as long as its legal you are a dumbass

[robotzik]

Soooo... if rape would be legal, would you do that too, theassholecrustsshit? If we have the power to do whatever we want why do we need laws anyway, and even so... you choose to kill raccoons with your power? Great use of time. lol

[theassholecrustshit]

now you'er serioulsy falling of subject with this...did i say i would rape if it was legal? no i did not dont ask me why we have laws maybe to keep everybody from killing eachother! yeah i racoon hunt so what? i bet you sit on your ass all day watching american idol some brainwashing show where no talent singers get onto the radio polluting it with more shitty mainstream music and bullshit songwriters how does that sound!!

[robotzik]

lmao oh yea how did you guess? xD

Though you know what? I'd rather watch that shit then shoot something ^^

Anyway

let's stop this I'm sick of fighting with somebody whose screen name describes him so well

[theassholecrustshit]

i bet you would you loser. my screen name is hilarious, i love how when you argue you bring up stuff that doesnt even matter.

how did you find this vide oif you are against hunting? go fuck off with your PETA group of people who are so retarteded they think they are right about everything hunters know the most about animals thats a fact!

[robotzik]

everything must be hilarious to that exclusive IQ of yours jackass

[theassholecrustshit]

im 14 years old and i know more than you this is just so funny you lost an arguement to a 14 year old.

jacksass

[robotzik]

lol if you think I lost to a little asswhipe, you still have a lot of growing up to do xD it's nto about losing it's about how funny it is you get so angry and try to prove yourself so desperately fucker hahaha get a life ^^

[theassholecrustshit]

well no shit you retarted inbred bitch, in an arguement you are supposed to try to prove your point. But Here you go making up shit again "you get so angry and try to prove your self so desperately" oh yeah because i went through so much anger and trouble just to type a responce to a comment. yeah right, whatevery ou want to believe you treehugging bitch!!

[robotzik]

I have no point to prove to a little ignorant kid that is so self absorbed he doesn't know anything about life

talk to me when you have money to buy your own bullets, lol

retard

[theassholecrustshit]

how am i the ignorant one? you are the guy who watches american idol and complains about hunting videos (wich helps the environment)

[robotzik]

Well yea because I don't watch American Idol thogh it pointless to tell you that and well... I'm not talking about the envoriment. As I said fuck off man xD I dunno what you are tryng to prove but you are failing anyway

[X00ranger00X]

lol u what i hate the most. when u shoot it and it dosent fall out of the tree

[jcrum312]

i hate when ya miss the head

[asdfkasdlfkj]

I live about 20 minutes out side of Fulton MO.

[c9ari]

I would love to try this. Those Dogs sound great!

[cuff1957]

i like to hunt coons to theres plenty in new york city,just look for a food pantry,theres at least a hundred of them you dont even need dogs.

[sithlordjosh2]

I went last night and got 5 raccoons nice big mothers. used a savage 22 long rifle. for those who have not gone coon hunting at night find a buddy that trains coon dogs and go around the tree lines or a friend that has alot of farm land.

[rebelrider141]

flywaytaxidermy what do coon taste like? i trap but ive never eaten the meat i always used it for bait and hunting coyotes

[oneofakindfrom86]

so much fun thanks for a great vid.

[COONHUNTER2009]

I use a Beeman Air Rifle 800fps using .22 caliber pointed pellets. 1 headshot at 30 yards works great. They won't stay out of my back yard so it is easier just to wait for them.

[jsenter93]

Man this brings back memories. I used to run treeing walkers as well.  I moved off to college and haven't done it since then. I almost forgot how amazing the sound of walkers when treed. Great video!

[flywaytaxidermy]

Absolutley the most enjoyable sports there is. Watching and hearing those dogs work is amazing. And just to get everybody fired up ,because I know your going to anyway. I harvest these animals every year and enjoy eating them. GET OVER IT! I dont hear any of you city folks complaining about your fancy fur coats which raccoon hair is sometimes used in. Who wouldve thought an old country boy like me could make you folks soo mad and happy at the same time.?! Ha

[stevedaviesfishing]

Cool video

[pcredbone316]

Coonhuntin is really mostly about enjoying the work of a coonhound. The enjoyment of the dogs is the real basis of the sport. Some hunters still sell the fur, others simply hunt for enjoyment and leave the majority of the coons they tree to chase again. Competition hunts are keeping the sport alive and on these hunts guns are not allowed..dogs and their handlers judged based on performance. Winners of these events get titles on their hounds, trophies, prizes, etc

[hubbars5]

Great video, looks like ya got some good walkers. I don't think it is a lost art. My dad, my grandpa, and girlfriends dad have gotten back into it in the last couple of years and I see the night hunters out in the fall a lot. Coon prices are good and there are a lot of coon so that scares me a little. We can't enjoy running beagles as much anymore because the coyotes have dwindles the rabbit population so much. I'm 19 and I love it, this video makes me want to go.

[656monty]

Great vid, for the anti hunters just watch where the red fern grows sometime, you might have a different out look. I coon hunted for 20 year competively, and pleasure. I loved almost every moment.

[youranidiot50]

Killing is killing...anyone who gets enjoyment out of terrorizing and killing one of God's creatures...and for a Good feelin' memory...is a moron.

[duck2124]

Been some stupid fucking kid from the city getting in trouble and with out enough common sense to realise that if people dont harvest animals they would inbreed and start to die any ways so you fucking idiots need to know what your talkn about b4 bitching

[duck2124]

You stupid fucking city people i've been coon hunting my whole life with family and friends several times a week and do kill them some times when a pup is training it has been a way of life here in oklahoma forever if it wasnt for coon hunting i would

[RPGLOL]

its not stupid... its a great sport and i eat every one that i harvest and use the pelts for clothing

[wihargo]

nothing wrong with hunting, especially when the animal being hunted is so abundent.

[qwertykyle666]

@RPGLOL how do coons taste?

[pranxter08]

@qwertykyle666 i think they taste very well, thank you. my friend, mianus11 here is a great coon hunter. we go coon huntin all the time. It's like a party of coa coa puffs!

[AlexMEllett]

@RPGLOL what does raccoon taste like? JW

[tornadoeplayer14]

@AlexMEllett chicken lol 

[anavidhunter]

I treed a raccoon earlier this season bymyself just walkin lookin for new deer country, just filmed it and let it go. If I were hungry I would have harvested it. They taste really good, some say better than deer or beef. My Uncle and Aunt took a problem coon up at their cabin in the mountains and they ate it and said it was incredibly good! I wouldn't probably try that with a city garbage coon.

[flyp1004]

you can have fun doing anything. You like it because of the memories it brings.. But killing raccoons in part of the fun isn't the best idea. And of course you had your excuses etc. I know a guy who kills deer every week to relive his memories too. It's a shame it keeps happening for the sake of a memory.

[g3sportsman]

No coons were harvested in this clip. Was a show merely highlighting a type of hunting that has fell by the wayside over the years.

[elradonegro]

ive killed raccoons, but only when they were threatening a pet i kept out in the garage, the would come in and terrorize my pet ferret, who was caged. we set up traps, and used guns and all this shit. You guys look like your hunting for fun. I just dont see the point of hunting raccoons. You cant eat them, i suppose the dogs could, but they don't need to either. Anyway, its fuckng stupid because YOU HAVE NO POINT TO DOING THIS!

[cougsman01]

shut the fuck up

[slabtownhunter]

great video sure gets your heart pumpin brings back great memories!
