Coon Hunting Dogs |
|
I'm ready to get started in coonhunting and have done my research and believe that a redbone would be the best fit for me. Can they adapt to being a housedog without hindering they hunting ability and what type of equipment do i need to buy to get the training under way and at what age do i start training for chasing coon?

The Redbone Coonhound will adapt very easily to family life. The dog is known to love children and also they love being around other people. The dog is very intelligent so you won't have any problems with it. The dog won't confuse the "family life" with the "hunting life". The dog should be socialized at an early age and also the dog must be thought the basic commands. The dog needs to be exercised daily. You should start the training when the dog is around 9 weeks but don't expect great results because the redbone is still a small pup. If you have friends who own redbone's, talk to them and I'm sure they will help you train your dog. There isn't any special training equipment you should buy, just the basics. Look for online shops as they offer a large variety of products.

I have 2 red dogs and they are great dogs all around, I just have 1 question for anybody. What kind of sounds do you need to make out of a coon squaller for it to be effective?

The recommended calls for this procedure would be rodent squeaks, bird distress, a predator call with “small“ sounds.
