How to Get a Good Coon Dog
If you want a good coon dog, don’t look for a fancy breed or a big nose or a brother to the best coonhound in the county. What you want is a dog that can prove himself before you buy. You’re going to pay between $100 and $500, so you might as well get one that’s trained.
Breeding isn’t everything, but most good coon dogs are black-and-tan coonhounds, Plott hounds, blue ticks, or any combination thereof. As one veteran coon hunter puts it, “It’s in the dog hisself whether he’s any good or not.”

It’s still exciting for me to find a new writer who has a bunch of books out there.”

A decade ago, Nina Morgan made an unimaginable choice to keep her family safe: Leave them.
Nina was a witness, not a criminal. But the acts she knew about and the powerful man behind them put not just her but her husband and their two toddlers in harmâs way.
So she disappeared from their Florida home and re-created herself in Maine as wilderness guide Leah Trenton. Sheâs haunted by her loss, but she has constructed a new life, even found a new love.
