It took two weeks, two whole weeks!!! But now I finally have my coon. Papa went down to the river bottoms with me and clubbed the coon to death. He showed me how to skin it and I tacked it to the smokehouse wall to tan. I have already started training my pups. My sisters hold there collars and I drag the skin through the grass. They are experts already. Hunting season starts soon and I'm sure I'll kill some coons.
