Got these pictures off a camera going into one of our fields, its in the middle of our farm! These guys are not suppose to be there.
I have been noticing new tracks on the roads, but had not really paid any attention to it until now!

Just coon hunters, you have nothing to worry about and it's ok, they just getting their dog. :D


Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)
 
coon hunters no doubt, and no im not picking on poor tresspasing coon hunters but judging by their headlamps and the dog i would say thats why their there
 
Ive never coon hunted but is this common? Seems like they are always chasing down there dogs on property they arent supposed to be on. Guess since its under the cover of darkness its OK.
 
Dogs cannot read No Tresassing signs. Their fool azz owners can. I would string up 500 feet of piano wire about 5 foot off of the ground thru all the trees around there. Depending on how fast they are going when they hit it decides how much UTV gets torn up.

Very common. I know not all coon hunters are bad but ive never met a good one. Just saying.
 
I met good ones, but most have the same BS
Line. " they don't hurt the deer hunting "

Any kind of extra pressure effects Mature deer
hunting, but I've read it on here members that
Coon hunt all have their stories of uneffected
Deer.

Truth is unless the land they are hunting is very
Large, they know up front dogs are getting on
other landowners ...IMO

I guess you know if you put out Boobie traps you are liable for injuries they might recieve.
 
The only coon hunters I have ever met personally were very very very nice guys and I would go with them again if given the chance.

Just thought I would add that.

I had to have some fun though.
 
Having the exact same problems and the vehicle (mule) looks exactly the same. If you were not on the other side of the state, I would think we had the same tresspasser.

It's not a boobie trap if I'm putting up fencing for my future Clydesdale farm.

I should have made myself clearer, because my post made me sound like a straight doosh bag.

Every coon hunter ive ever talked to when i ask them where they hunt, they always say whereever the dogs take us.
When we first bought our property, the landowner before us, his nephews coon hunted the place. We were/are still friends with them and let them hunt for another yr. Until you could follow there trails for the beer cans and had every other landowner around us mad and ripping down deer stands because of it. Now its all stopped (that we know of). But i do believe it has stopped because i see 30 coons everytime i check my cams.

As long as they are there legally they have the same rights as deerhunters. A lot of the coonhunters I know claim that a deerhunter will shoot there dog.I dontknow about that but I do think us hunters could get along better if we didnt sterotype each other. Now dont get me wrong there are good and bad coon and deerhunters.And if they are going to hunt a small property they should have clearance from the other landowners to get there dogs if need be.I used to coonhunt alot when I was a kid and when you have a young pup your training with a seasoned dog it could wind up anywhere before the hunt is through.Miles away. Thats why I quit I got tired of knocking on landowners doors trying to retreive my dogs.I have zero tolerance for any tresspaser!
 
Most coon hunters that I know don't do it for "the kill" but, the love of what "we" call "mountain music". To us a hound striking a track, cold trailing it through the woods and finally barking treed is music and I know many don't understand that. Coon hides these days aren't worth the time it takes to skin one so many just leave them in the tree or shoot one out every now and then.

There is no excuse for those people, coonhunters or not, to be on your property tresspassing. I have GPS and E-collars on all my dogs. I can see when they range out and enter private property and can call them back with my "buzz or tone" button on the E-collar. I don't have to stand in the woods in the middle of the night and scream for them or tresspass on private land. The dogs can't read and therefore it's not their fault but, the human handler can and shouldn't. A few bad apples ruin it for many and give the "majority" of the honest ones a bad image.
 
Also, the number of large tracts of public land and many home owners buy the adjoining lands. So even if the houndsmen tries to hunt large chunks of public land he still runs the risk of his hounds entering private property. Large farms are gettin gobbled up by development and (I hate to say this) being leased out for deer hunting rights. The woods are getting smaller and we should all do our best to see the others points of view. The houndsmen likes his dogs, the deer hunter likes his peace and quiet, neither should have to give up their legal (that's the important part) method of hunting.

As a side note, many coon hunters are moving to curs since they hunt closer, much like a bird dog and they don't cover as much territory.
