Coon via Stone
« on: October 28, 2012, 11:52:42 pm »
Kinda slow on the deer this year.  some tough circumstances hunting around other people, but I had this coon come by me tonight. We have so many of them it isn't even funny, since the new guy dumps corn everywhere these things have been coming out of the wood work.  I'll let you know how it tastes tomorrow. 10 yards with my hackberry selfbow, cane arrow and FL chert stone point.  It went about 5 yards and called it quits.     save the point? or re-sharpen it and kill another?

Good shooting!  We have split 'em and thrown them on the grill and enjoyed the heck out of them.  A good barbecue sauce will fix it right up.  ;)

Handsome little rascal, he was!  In the last few years the raccoon population around here has skyrocketed, too.  I have three small-ish ones in the freezer that were donated to feed our hawks, but they may get siphoned off since they can be de-lish!

Talk about an all-out traditional hunt! Boy, do I love me some hackberry...and now you do too!

I was about to draw on a coon the other day, then a saw  3 more little guys behind her. I just couldnt do it... However, if the skins are worth anything, I may draw on he next one I see alone...

Nice shot, man! Nice equipment, too.
I saw a neat little coon rawhide quiver in a museum a couple summers ago. The guy who made it obviously had a sense of humor! It was a side quiver with an over-the-shoulder strap and the opening for the arrows was the raccoon's hind quarters. The user put the arrows right in the coon's butt. Ha! I believe the quiver was of Konza make.

Resharpen and use it on another raccoon.   :)
