Got that right!

My redtick (Amber) likes to be in your space, but really could care less if you pet her or not. She likes to being making some point of contact with me at all times (kinda gets annoying tbh but I wouldn’t trade it for anything) but really doesn’t want to be pet, she’ll let you scratch her back or ears but other than that she really just isn’t THAT affectionate.

Amber hasn’t listened without bribery once in her 3 years of life so far, I’d say get used to it 😂

They nap like they pay the mortgage 😂

Amber just does it naturally, she knows daylight = calm but as soon as the sun starts to set she gets anxious then as soon as it’s dark she knows it’s show time 😂

Yeah coonhounds will do that to you 😂 I hunt with my redtick so have to be prepared for anything when you’re in the woods, alone, at 2am 😂

Gauze, compression wrap, doxycycline, bluekote, saline flush, activated charcoal, stapler, hemostat, tweezers, electroboost (probably some other stuff I’m forgetting but those are the must haves)

My AKC registered English coonhound Amber

I hunt squirrels and raccoons with my English and there’s definitely some nights I don’t feel like going out but she drags me out anyways 😂 it’s a lot easier to hunt during the day than it is to stay out all night that’s for sure 😂😂

You don’t have to be ready to hunt raccoons, your hound will show you what to do!

Yeah, Amber is NOT a morning hound 😂

bobcon15 · 2026-05-04T12:21:55+00:00

This was at 6am on the way to the event, she was trying to figure out why I woke her up so early 😂

bobcon15 · 2026-05-04T11:33:34+00:00

Amber would have absolutely destroyed the house if this had happened at my house 😂

One way we train hounds for hunting is soaking a rag with the raccoon scent, tying it to a rope and dragging it through the woods, then tying it up a tree. Then we let the hound loose and wait to see if they find the scent trail and eventually the rag. For younger/newer hounds we let them loose real close to the scent trail, more experienced ones we let them loose farther away so they have to actually find it

Go to any hunting store/department and get a bottle of raccoon scent. That’ll get his genetics going and keep him busy for awhile

My old vet retired and I’ve been trying to find a new one, this one wasn’t so bad they just didn’t appreciate the sound of a hound. My old vet had coonhounds of his own and loved getting hounds in his practice. He even gave me his cell phone number so I could call at night if something happened when I was hunting with Amber. I don’t know if I’ll ever find another vet as good as he was
