Anybody know where I can get a live coon to train my dog with? I've been trying to catch one but haven't had any luck. I live in Northwest Ga. Thanks!!

It ain't that hard to catch one in a live trap. Find a creek with some coon tracks. Bait trap with grape jelly. Check it every day.

This I know I prefer an egg in trap that is covered pretty well not just out in the open. But still I ask the ? Is that legal ?

That's a good question about legality. I never thought about it. I've been setting the trap next to a pond, I caught one last year on sardines but haven't caught another one yet. I've used sardines, marshmallows.....I'll have to try the egg and jelly.

not legal to sell/buy one,
not legal to possess a live coon without a permit,
not legal to trap one (yet.)

So we learn first lesson about coon trapping is we don't talk about coon trapping

If you boys haven't already figured it out, I'm new to coon hunting! I appreciate the education!

a rolling cage and a live coon is nice to have for starting young hounds....but not necessary......get with some guys with old dogs and ask to go.......invest in a track and shock collar too.......

honey buns are great bait. Easier to catch them in town than in the country.

Couple of big white marshmallows and some dry dog food has always worked well for me
