Here where I hunt in Illinois and Iowa, the weather was amazing! We usually are well below zero in January and February, but this season it was only really cold a few days.
My plan this season was to really hunt an almost 2 yr old redbone male of mine that was really cranking, but he got coonhound paralysis just before thankgiving and he was in rough shape for 2 months.
So, I hunted an older walker I have and a young redbone female pretty hard. We treed quite a few coon, and I had the privilege of introducing several people to the world of coonhunting for the first time.
The highlight of the year was when I took my 15 month old son hunting for the first time! He loved it!
