We're told the second week in January is usually mating season for coon. Females are usually holed up in the dens but males should be running.
In Ohio, the price of coon has finally gone up. There is an auction near Bowling Green that pays up to $20 per coon (stretched and dried). Many other fur traders are paying $8-$10.
This year Kenton Ohio will once again host the Kenton Coondog Trials. It's the 50th Anniversery. See the Events category below for details.
