"She is silent on track but works close and is on the coon before they go far. Once treed she will chop all night."

HaHa.

Reminds me of standing in the woods on a pitch black night with a party of (about eight or 10)'coon hunters, some holding flashlights and others with headlamps.

One looks up and says "That's 'ol Luther, he's got a track.

Another one says "Yep, and that there's 'ol Joe."

Don't know how they could tell them apart, but they could.

After they ran my butt through the briars and bushes all night I was never so glad to hear anything as I was to hear the words "Boys, h'its treed."

Back in the late 70's I worked 2nd shift in a union factory that would let you go home with full pay after you had your production run.
We would bust a$$ and be done by 7pm, hunt coon all night.

Back then we were getting $30-$50 for prime northern hides.

A country boy could work 4 hours, and hunt 4-6 hours and make $300 a day. ( A Ford F-150 4x4 was about $5,000 then)

Now coon ain't worth nothing and classified as shoot on site varmints.

Damn those liberal peace-queers !
