When I was a kid we had a pair of dogs that we ran. It was great fun and I miss it a lot.
Pretty much any hunting that involves dogs is amazing though.

Love dog hunting. I grew up running deer dogs, hog dogs, rabbit beagles, and coon dogs. Long time ago and now deer dogs are illegal, and all the timber company land is leased up. I had some awesome coon dogs over the years and done a little competition hunting but never really liked it. Had three grand night champions over the years....didn’t mean anything except that you were good at calling on your dog. My best dogs were no good in competition hunts, but really shined in the big woods when they had to hunt for themselves and range out.
For years, I hunted every night. I lived in the swamps of south alabama where I could turn out at the pens and strike a coon within 50 yards. Oh how I miss those nights. I know some folks that hunt around here now, and I can sometimes hear the race from my porch. If I started coon hunting again, I’d be wide ass open, hunting every night, never sleeping, worn out and divorced in six months. Lol. I still have all my old wheat lights and nitelites that ain’t been charged in 20 years.
Where I am in Wisconsin, there’s tons of coyote hunters that turn loose anywhere and drive anywhere they want and has most landowners turned off because of it. Trappers including myself, with permission to trap have trouble from hounds men every winter because of the trespassing but they keep on. They are slowly phasing out all dog hunters as land owners would just rather not deal with it every year. All outdoorsmen and women need to stop bitching at each other and unify for all our benefit. Dog hunters, trappers, bird hunters, bow hunters, crossbow hunters, gun hunters, bait hunters, no bait hunters, whatever....all better quit trying to get one another outlawed. These days more than ever, United we stand, divided we fall.

Coon should be relatively unrestricted to trap and hunt in most areas. You can't just let ppl do whatever they want tho poachers will still do whatever they want. We've learned over human history the destruction on populations that unmanaged hunting can bring. But the simple fact is we've killed off alot of these things natural predators or we would have been killing them like hotcakes naturally. I have alot of problems with folks who don't go out in the woods telling ppl what to do and there's alot of that going on. These ppl would let seals eat all the fish in the sea or deers eat every sapling in the forest just to keep from killing one.

Man there’s so much truth to that. We save so much money eating wild game and butchering our own cows and pigs......it’s a real shame what’s happening to the cattle industry because all of these major companies are importing beef. Hell I’m pretty sure I’d read somewhere that Chinese companies are raising chickens in the us, them ship them over to China to process or vice versa, because it only has to be processed in the states to get the product of USA stamp

Meat industry is very tightly regulated. The fact is we can't find ppl in this country willing to gut chickens fast and cheap enough to keep up with demand but the usda actually works quite diligently to ensure safety and quality. We all don't live in bumfuck nowhere on a bunch of land where we can raise up all kinda live stock or hunt amd what not. Like I said most these ppl that eat this factory farm shit couldn't even stomach killing what they take for granted. But then again alot farmers pay to have things processed by those that are established and know what theyre doing and can handle serious volume. What's important is protecting land use and conserving wildlife. All the coon clubs by me are outdoor conservation groups. If you want to do it here u need to do it on boarder jumping migrants or our whole economy is gonna take a major wack cuz all sudden meat and produce prices will be thru the roof. I don't think you ppl get it. It's fine living simple and all but not if u get in the way of things.

I agree with you, most of them couldn’t handle it, hell my stepmom would rather buy her beef from store than what we butcher, bc she never seen that animal. I’m not in bfe, I’m not far from town at all, but if I can supplement the better living for my family by raising our own animals and growing our own produce, by all means we’re gonna do it. My problem is the federal government paying ranchers to euthanize their herds or sell their cattle for a loss because of all of the imported beef being brought in and then just dump carcass in a landfill. You realize how many needy families could be fed with all of that.....but that doesn’t work for the ones filling politicians pockets so that’s not going to be allowed. You’re 100% correct, people would rather not work than to work at a wage to put some money in their pockets butchering chickens cattle and pork, but want to get upset about the immigrants, illegal or not that will come in and do that work twice as hard as the average American for peanuts. Americans have gotten lazy and it’s sickening.

Culls and farm subsidizes are actually critically important due to the inherent nature of farming season to season. This goes back to the whole stabilized economy point. It's less costly to run a surplus and get undercut on a good year than fall short on a bad year. Its so multi faceted and complex but there's many cogs driving things all over. Again u people take it for granted and wanna tear the country apart over bullshit. I'm just as disheartened by waste mistakes and in efficiency but I don't think u understand what it's propping up. You assholes wouldn't have a lick to eat or a hole to hide in.

I’m not tearing shit apart and what am I hiding from? I go to work everyday and my taxes are taken out of every paycheck. That last comment I made is about as political as it gets with me, because they’re all crooked. There should be some major reform but that will never happen, so why get upset over it and argue with people about it? It’s much easier for me to do what needs to be done for my family and those we choose to be around on a daily basis, if that’s tearing things apart, so be it. I don’t have time to stress about what the crazies in the big cities are doing.
