My Grandpa had a mixed breed bird dog that jumped a pair of coons, Boar and Sow, by himself. Grandpa said Sandy already had the boar dead before he could get the shotgun out of his pickup. Grandpa shot the sow to stop the fight. All Sandy got was ONE fang mark in his right hindquarter. He might have gotten more if Grandpa hadn't shot the sow. Sows are usually quicker than the boars.goose wrote:Having been on a couple of dozen 'coon hunts with my brother-in-law, I will gladly give them a wide berth. I have seen a single raccoon hold off four dogs on many an occasion. They are darn sure better at hand-to-hand combat than I am.
