A little far for me or I would. Buy a half dozen dog proofs and get after them. They are real easy to catch and it will save you money if you have corn out

When are you coming up to hunt next, clay? Muzzy season? I'd look into getting a half dozen dog proofs, set them while your in camp. Bait them with dog food and shellfish oil lure and you might get a few.
Yea I am coming next Friday till Tuesday, hope to meet some of you guys at the hunt on Sunday. So I looked it up and that might work but if I want to be legal I am not supposed to trap without a class first, as I have never trapped before

Pretty stealthy lol. It honestly only takes one good whack on the top of the head then I stand on their backs for about 30 seconds and they're dead.
Is that to protect the fur? If I trap them can I sell them or can I tan them and make a hat? I really don't care I just want to kill them
I always have a hammer with me so that's what I kill stuff with, but no it doesn't put any holes in the fur. A 22 doesn't damage a pelt though. Coon really aren't worth much this year, and yes you can have them tanned for a hat. I have a few coon pelts at home in my fur bundle

Well it's kinda hard for a critter to breathe with 250 pounds on top of them lol. Coons ain't shit, try jumping on a yotes back after a whack with the hammer lol.
