Coon Hunting Supplies
Just thought i'd give you some quick information on coon hunting supplies.The right coon hunting supplies are essential for an enjoyable and successful hunt.
So, first and foremost. One of the most important coon hunting supplies you will need is a good light. There are many headlamps on the market. I use a rechargable headlamp myself, but you can buy cheaper ones that have to be changed out with batteries. The downside to that is you have to carry around bulky batteries on your hunt and considering you may be walking or running for miles, the less wheight the better.
Another very important item is a compass or GPS (preferred). While trailing behind your dogs for miles in the woods and in the dark, it's very easy to get disoriented and lost. Always have atleast a compass with you when you hunt. And never hunt alone.
Clothing also plays a part in an enjoyable hunt. Since you will be rubbing up against brush and thorns, it's important that you wear leather or thick canvas clothing. I wear all thick canvas clothes when I hunt. I recommend Carhart. Remember it may be cold out, but you will most likely be burning alot of energy, following your dogs, and producing alot of body heat. So, try to dress appropriatly.
A good pair of waterproof or rubber boots is also essential. Because coons love the water it's almost gauranteed that you will get your feet wet from crossing small brooks and standing water.
And last but not least you will need a gun or club as part of your coon hunting supplies (your preference as long as its legal), in case the dogs need help. Coon are very ferosios fighters. There you have it. Happy Hunting.
