Money in coon

[Powder River Walker]

I was wondering if there is any way to make money with coon hunting?

[Brady Davis]

Now, if there was a good way I think most of us would be doing it! LOl, A good friend of mine and I have bounced around the idea of having a guide license and taking guys on guided coon hunts. Maybe hunt with them till midnight or so then do a little tailgate breakfast or something...We prob never will but it sure sounded good one night walking through the woods.

I know guys have made money coon hunting but it's in the dogs and hunts...Actually, I guess it depends on your definiton of "make money"...my definition is different than most and I don't think you can really make money and get ahead in anything hound dog related...But man, it sure is fun eh?!!!!!!

Brady,
I was thinking that after my dogs get better, there is a coon problem alot of places that grow oats and corn. I wonder if they would pay to have their coons taken care of.

[Brady Davis]

Who knows, they might?! I know the farmers I deal with wouldn't pay...Then again I'm just happy to have access to their places to hunt!

I dont have any dogs yet but I trap coon a lot for farmers who have big feed lots. Those dang coon will eat the crap out of the syllage and corn they feed the cattle. Right now I trap two large feed lots all winter long the farmer pays me ten dollars a coon then I skin em and dry em and sell em to the fur buyer. Fur prices on coon this year have been horrible but on the one lot alone I took fifteen coon and on the other i took twenty. When I get some dogs I will run em on the coon instead of trap them. Man it's fun to ketch those little suckers.
