CHASING FESTIVE COONS
WITH DOG, AX AND CLUB
When the moon is full and the corn
is in the milk, the coon hunting season
begins. For more reasons than one fash
ion lias nek set its seal on the coon
hunt, and you might suppose that the
sport had become practically extinct.
But it has not. It has merely gone into
seclusion. In the old days the coon
hunters were the substantial men of the
township, the well to do fanners and
perhaps the local justice. They kept
packs of more or less famous coon dogs,
and they pursued the sport in the true
sportmg.spirit.
But now the coon hunter is apt to be
an individual of no great importance in
the village, and the fact that he does
hunt coons adds little to his reputation.
The sport remains just as good as it
ever was, however, and the coon can
still bo found in his old haunts, for he
goes on multiplying just as if he was as
fashionable as the fox. Coon hunting is
not to be done in golf stockings or
fancy clothes, and it is a rugged sport,
suitable to be indulged in only by the
hardy, seasoned hunter with a knowl
edge of woodcraft and no fear of damp
feet.
As the coon is a night prowler, so the
coon hunter must have his sport in the
silent watches. The true sportsman will
not take gun along when he goes after
coons. An ax and a stout club are all
the weapons necessary. One of the
party, for {his is strictly a sociable
sport, should have a pair of tree climb
ers, and a lantern is sometimes useful.
A cold bite and a bottle of snake bite
cure are optional accessories.
Then there are the dogs. To an en
thusiastic coon hunter a good coon dog
represents the embodiment of animal
intelligence, and he values him at a fig
ure which is practically prohibitive. I
have often heard of coon dogs which
were “worth SHOO of any man’s mon
ey,” but I never heard of a sale being
made at that or any lower figure.
Mere questions of breed or pedigree
do not enter into the question of wheth
er a canine is a good coon dog or not.
If he is, why he is, and that’s all there
is to it. I have seen coon dogs that look
ed like crosses between hounds and shep
herd dogs, between mastiffs and bull
dogs, and some which exhibited traces
IN FULL CRY.
of half a dozen breeds and might be
correctly described as “pure mongrel
blood,” but nothing so irritates tho
owner of a coon dog as an attempt to
classify his animal.
“Nah, he ain’t no hound and he ain’t
no setter. He’s jest a coon dog and a
mighty good one. Ain’t that enough?”
It had to be, for the mighty coon hunt
er closed the interview with the air of
one who has exhausted the subject.
It is well known that the coon leaves
the faintest and most subtle scent of
any animal. It grows cold half an hour
after he passes by and then the keenest
nosed dog cannot detect it. So to catch
your coon your have to know his haunts
and something about his habits. In the
daytime he dozes safely curled up in a
hollow tree or in a rock pile, but at
night he goes forth to nibble the tender
corn, to hunt for huckleberries or early
grapes. But.these are the dainties wit!

which he tickles his palate. Wnat puts
fat on his ribs are the frogs and lizards
which he catches at the creek side or in
the swamps. Hie first object, though, on
leaving his hole, is to get a drink of
water, and he makes for the nearest
spring or water course.
Just about this time of the year the
coon hunter will do best to go quietly
down to the edge of an outlying corn
field about midnight. If it is bounded
by a rail fence or stone wall, so much
the better, for the coon likes best an
elevated trail. It suits his feet better
than a flat surface, but the dogs will
take the scent just as well. Whether
they keep it or not is another question.
Those people who speak contemptu
ously of the coon and intimate that he
can be fooled by any simple trick have
never followed a wily old coon and seen
him baffle a pack of keen scented, intel*

ligent dogs, not to mention half a aozeii
men, for an hour or more. You might
think, to look at the lifeless form of a
fat. short legged coon, that he world be
slow and awkward of movement, but
he is just the opposite. He moves with
a swift, gliding motion, and when he is
“humping himself, ” which he seems to
be doing in a literal sense, he looks like
a streak of fur shooting through the
bushes
The excitement begins when the dogs
first find the scent, and from that mo
ment until the game is bagged there is
a continuous performance, with no waits
between acts. Swampy land, thick
with tangled underbrush, is bad enough
to traverse in the daytime, but when
you have to run through it at full
speed in the dead of night it develops
into an exercise which is almost as free
from monotony as falling down stairs
with a barrel of glassware. But at full
speed you have to go if you expect to
keep up with the dogs and be in at the
death.
All sorts of things happen to you.
You slip from asog.-y log and go splash
ing into a slimy pool with all the aban
don of a monster bullfrog. Then you
scramble out and go crashing on at re
doubled speed until you are stopped by
a head on collision with a stump, from
which you carom against a tree and
continue, somewhat dased, but just as
enthusiastic as ever. It is annoying,
too, when the man in front pushes aside
a bough or a long, thorn set blackberry
bush and lets it come back into your
face with a swish.
There were some, city men—artists,
journalists, actors and such—who once
decided to go coon hunting. A Bohemi

an friend had told then! it was rare
sport and quite eccentric, so they went
out to a little country town where a
pack of dogs and two skilled coon hunt
ers had been engaged to pilot the party.
Now, the visitors chose to amuse them
selves at the expense of the suburban
coon hunters and urban wit was scat
tered profusely diming the ride to the
hunting grounds. But there it ceased to
flow. Those long suffering rustics pro
ceeded to lead their victims such a chase
as amateur coon hunters never had be
fore. For four weary hours the men
from the city stumbled and wallowed
about in one of the worst swamps to be
found in that section of the country,
and when they dragged themselves out
at daylight they had no heart for mak
ing jests at the. expense of the coon
hunters.
But experience enables the hunter to
go through the woods at night with
much speed and comparative ease. His
eyes become accustomed to the appear
ance of trees, stumps, logs and pools in
the half light, and he does not make
the mistakes which trouble the begin
ner. Os course if the coon ran in a
straight line be and the dogs woull
soon leave the hunters far behind, iiu’
the coon knows that he is not equal to
a long distance sprint, so as soon as he
reaches cover of any kind he begins his
dodging tactics.
Bight here the coon proven Jflijwlf a

master of strategy. Soihe ofTiis tricks,
played with the idea of throwing the
dogs off the scent, show great cunning.
He will climb a tree, run out on a low
hanging branch and drop. He will dou
ble on his tracks as often as he can. He
will kill the scent by swimming across
little pools and floating down running
streams, and daring old coons have been
known to double quickly on their paths
and run squarely through the pursuing
party, throwing the whole pack into
confusion.
Sooner or later, however, the coon
concludes that he cannot run all night,
and in desperation he selects a tree,
climbs out on a branch and defiantly
awaits his fate. There is no mistaking
the triumphant note in the tone of the
dogs as they hysterically announce the
fact that the coon has been treed. Then
the hunters gather and hold a council
of war. Probably no two old coon hunt
ers ever will agree as to the exact meth
od of getting a treed coon. The south
ern darkies, who value the meat aS
much as the chase, sometimes shoot
Vim. Some hunters favor climbing the
tree and shaking him from the limb
and then beating him to death with
clubs. Others hold that the dogs should
finish him if they can and if the coon
proves the best fighter he should have
his liberty. But as a general thing he
is mercilessly shaken or knocked from
the limb, and after a brief but exciting
struggle he dies the death.
The people who really like roast stuff
ed coon are few, leaving out the colored
brother. The meat has a gamy flavor
and tastes something like roast pig.
Half the hunters who are willing tn
spend the whole night chasing coons
make only a faint pretense of eating
coon meat after they have got their
game and had it cooked, but this only
shows that the sport is a fascinating one.

When the monthly flow occurs at the

but if it occur too often, continue too long
or be too profuse, it induces a feeble pulse,
