The coon hunting club I belong to has hunter safety classes. Coon hunting club...I think only maybe 2 members still hunt coons. Nice shooting and trap range though on a couple of hundred acres of wooded land.
I'm an old coon hunter too. I still have one old dog left from my days of hunting coons.......he's 10 1/2 years old and still a fine coonhound. He is also quite an accomplished squirrel dog. When he passes I'll replace him with a closer ranging squirrel dog though. The hounds (he's a Plott) are quite rangy. I also teach hunter safety to the kids in our surrounding communities. Fun stuff.
Yep we have youth squirrel and turkey hunts on the club grounds.
The wildlife enforcement officers are at most meetings and gatherings. We shoot trap on Thursday and Saturday night under the lights. Thursday is practice and Saturday is match stuff.
I have just been watching that, need to see if my pore old back can still handle it.
so how do you cook a coon? Like a rabbit or squirrel with potatoes and carrots and onions in the oven? Fried? Grilled? Stewed?

LOL, considering her stumbling, apparently not a very good one.
Yes.Do the Boy Scouts still teach marksmanship & firearm safety?
I've eaten them fried, baked with barbeque sauce, ground them up to make sausage and even entered a coon chili in the local WalMart chili cook-off. Called it "Racoon Rhapsody" and took 2nd place.
I'd like to try it some day but cant seem to find raccoon in any of my local markets! LOL
With the economy the way it is maybe coon will be on the menu next yr.
You don't eat SE Asian food ?
You know what makes this really funny?
She was a journalism major at Idaho State.
Yep, I get American Hunter (an NRA mag) and Outdoor Life and read them from cover to cover, starting with the "Armed Citizens" part of AH. Love them both and don't really care who knows I read them. Also importantly, these are not the only publications that I read.
Well they can't legally serve cats here. A coon is pretty close.damn, I thought that was cat!
