Rutherford Countty Small Game Hunters?

[NewCoonTrapper]

Hey All,

As my name states I'm new to the scene. I have a hunting dog, that I took to hog hunting and it was great seeing him work. We don't have that quarry here so I want to use him for predator/vermin/tracking possibly.
Regardless, I am trying to learn the art of coon hunting/trapping. It would be great to have him as a trapline companion or just walk the woods with me as I hunt.

If anyone has any tips or tricks.. Im all ears. Locations would be awesome. I am in Smyrna near the airport. Coon calling seems very cool to me as well.

I just purchased a coon drag to start scent training... (My dog isn't a coon hound, or hound breed at all haha) So i assume we will start at Percy Priest WMA.


Thanks in Advance!
Mitch

Good Luck! I love the sound of dogs running them in cool late fall nights.

What breed is he? I use a mt cur and black mouth cur. Everything hunting is more fun with dogs.

Oh man they are some nice looking dogs and that pic is what its all about.

My guy isn't a hound at all. He is a running catch dog for hog (DOGO ARGENTNO) but since I can only do that a few times a year I want to get him started on local quarry... Coyote would be great.. Are you running any dogs anymore?

I would love to walk to the woods with and pick your brain.

Either one of yours female? Make a good teacher.

So far he has 2 coon under his belt but they were lucky catches lol

I will add a few pics this evening

I see you're in LaVergne, I'm in Murfreesboro. I'll shoot you a private message bud, we'll have to call a coyote in for him! I've watched vids of Dogo's lol that would be entertaining for sure!

Let make it happen bud! I am down to learn as much as I can.
