I work my way in with farmers shooting the groundhogs so the barns don't fall down, horses don't break a leg. Still the land is smaller than the areas we went in the 1970's. Soon were live trapping coons in the house attic and then we got new places to hunt. Then the farmers tells others with pest problems about me and i start over.
A friend of mine took me a couple of years ago with a pair of Jack russels in horse barns in the area. Man what a chase and the barn owner paid us for each coon we dispatched. We dispatched cornered indoor coons with a noose. Horse barns owners don't like .22 rounds in the roof or walls. Outside it was up the tree and in the sights.
Got me thinking of start up with a couple of Fiest dogs and teaching them to hunt close and check up every 5 minutes so they don't get miles off the hunting grounds. Alot of small barn lots and one acre woods with tons of coon since nobody has dogs like we used to. Should be easy to get lots of coons to chase here in Indiana.
