I can't believe how much people will pay for hunting dogs. Anyone who steals a dog is a POS!

Is coon hunting now mainly a 'dog competetion' (i.e. see how well they track & tree them), or do people still actively hunt them? Kind of neat. 'Where the Red Fern Grows' was always one of my favorite stories when I was younger.

Throw in a fridge full of cheap beer, and that paints the average welfare recipient quite nicely!

Dang yank,

I thought you was talkin' about me, minus the Govt. dependent, dog stealin' crooked er than a "dog's hind lag," mentality.

Now I'm getting offended -- what's wrong with cheap beer? It all tastes the same after the first 12 pack :)

I read "Where The Red Fern Grows," describes my Mother's life (not exactly, but close).

Honey, there's 'coon dogs up here worth more money than I am. You are right, the hardcore 'coon hunters are mostly now into the field trailing.
