These beautiful moonlight nights this time of year is when the country boy enjoys an exciting coon and opossum hunt. It does not take long for a merry party of boys to meet early some bright evening down by the old coon hollow and of course the dogs, old Shep and Ben are there ready for the fun to commence. After the boys (sometimes not very young boys either) agree on the route the merry party starts out. First they go down through Martin's big woods. Sure enough, there in the hazel patch old Shep trees a large opossum on the ground doubled up as though dead. But as he is only shamming death is soon made a reality by a few well directed blows from a stick. Next they start around Tom's corn field, for coons have a noted appetite for corn, but you get half way around Shep strikes a fresh coon track and away go dogs and boys down to the old coon hollow, almost the same place they started from. There on the top limb of a sycamore sapling sits Mr. Coon eyeing his audience below. In a few moments Chick has jerked off his coat and boots and is rapidly ascending the tree, but ere he has climbed far Mr. Coon makes a leap for freedom, landing right in old Shep's mouth. Then the fun commences, it is coon, dogs and boys, with squalls, barks, shouts and laughter in one indescribable coon fight. O, you city chaps, you are not in it!
