if your "hunting" yes.... id say so.....its not learly as fun without the dogs and harder to find them.....if you do it without dogs, its kinda more likepest control, the fun part about coon hunting, the true sport of it is training your hound(s) to do the job, and nothing beats seeing and hearing how much fun they are having! do yourself a favor and get a good hound! and watch where the red fern grows!

He enters them into a coon hunting contest
No, they are water dogs, they are retrievers.
You know that camouflage is important when hunting. And so coon hunters have developed that breed of dog having stealth, agility, profile and sense for coon hunting. Once upon a coon, they sound the alarm. Now find a picture of a coon and hopefully you won't be mistaking a coon for a coon dog. But don't be persuaded by me; many hound dogs can be viciously trained to hunt for coons.
it depends on what you are hunting for but beagles, coon dogs, and golden retrievers are some of them. if you are hunting small animals like: birds, rabbits, mice, voles, etc. the westie is the best hunting dog for that but like the person above said, it depends on what your hunting
i like to coon hunt but i cant figure out when it started i will find out and post for all you people who CARE ABOUT COON HUNTING
You usually hunt coon at night with a coon dog and a spot light, and you usually hunt birds and deer during the day. I LOVE DEER HUNTING!! :)
The most unique traits of coon hunting lights are the brightness of the light at a cheap and affordable price range. Coon hunting lights are relative to sufficient hunting activities increasing visibility.
Billy trained the dogs to hunt raccoons by taking them out into the woods regularly and exposing them to the scent of raccoons. He would reward the dogs with treats or praise whenever they successfully tracked or treed a raccoon. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the scent of raccoons with positive reinforcement, leading to successful hunting behavior.
That is actually a two part question. For the coon-dog field trials that are sanctioned by the various kennel clubs that register coon-dogs, only registered coon-dogs are allowed to compete. But for the open class "coon-dog" field trials that are run for cash purses, like the Kenton National and other events, the dogs used are almost all greyhounds or greyhound crosses.
