First Coon

First Coon

Sorry everyone I didn't take a pic of it because it was extremely late and was kinda frustrated already as it was about other things, but my husband shot a coyote yesterday while deer hunting, didn't get a deer, and saw a lot of possums. Still haven't seen anything deer wise except for my mess up on Monday morning and missed both times on that deer, I still know it was a buck only because it was by itself and pretty much had its nose to the ground following  a trail, found my scrapes on the ground other places on our property, but still haven't seen any deer-so again my not get a buck (did get a button buck during 2012, doe 2013), so who knows.

Anyways before I talk about the coon, this morning I caught two possums in my trap (let them go because possums are not worth much), and talked to my husband, saw pretty much everything this morning (deer, turkeys, coyotes (didn't get a shot/ didn't see any deer that he wanted (wish I had that problem...lol I'm not picky though, if I see a deer I will shoot it)).

So now to the coon, I shot it and brought it to the house so that I could skinned it (first time I've done my own skinning-it was interesting), had my husband help me which is good since I'm not confident enough yet to do it on my own, anyways my husband was moving the coon lower for me so that I could finish working on it, and must have done something because next thing you know I got sprayed in the face, arms, got all over the ground, I pretty much got peed on by a dead raccoon (lesson learned, don't stand in front of a dead coon while your husband is lowering it for you so you can finish working on it)....yeah it was an interesting night for sure.

Hoping I'll have better luck tonight.

Thanks
