I think there should be a limit on the number of coon anyone person can trap in one season. At least in my area anyway. That would let the hound hunters have a better season of hunting.

that would be nice but like hell anyone is gonna do that! trappers are trapping the same reason we run hounds. Theres no money in it, its just fun!

The coon hunters here in arkasas have the advantage over trappers cause our coon season runs bout 3 month longer than trapping season.

i wanna move to arkansas then lol

Coon hides are my bread and butter I normally put up between 2-400 a season, 95% of them are trapped.the other 5 % I tree with the hounds. I'd be awful hard pressed to put up even a hundred and fifty good prime hides with my dogs in a 90 day season. I wish the trapping season was longer, if I want to tree coons for fun I can do that all spring and summer in chase season. To me coon season is about making a living as well as having fun.
