Raccoon

Coon hunting happens after dark, on the move, following hounds through brush most people wouldn't walk through in daylight. Here's the briarproof gear Dan's builds for this pursuit.

Lights, Calls, and Briarproof Gear for Every Night Hunt

Running hounds after raccoon means moving fast through thick cover in the dark, so the gear here is built around that specific combination.

  • Coon Lights: A bright main beam for spotting eyeshine at distance, a dimmer walk light for close-in work, and enough burn time to run all night - the backbone of any coon hunt.
  • Clothing: Briarproof bibs, chaps, coats, and vests shed thorns and brush as you push through cover following hounds, with waterproof options for wet ground and cold-weather insulation for late-season hunts.
  • Coon Squallers: Calls used to communicate and locate hounds in heavy cover or across distance, from Zepp's and Mity Max.
  • Bags: The Collar Bag, Waterproof Boot Bag, Shoulder Hunting Bag, and Gear Bag keep tracking collars, wet boots, and the rest of a night hunt's gear organized and contained.

Whether you're pushing through brush behind a hard-running pack or standing still listening for a tree bark, the gear here is built to keep up after dark.
