The WORST Coonhunt I've Had In YEARS!
The Worst Night of Coon Hunting I've Had In Years!
Join Brennan Holt as he recounts a disastrous night of coon hunting that tested his limits, his gear, and his trust in his instincts. With temperatures in the low 20s and snow on the ground, the night started with a bad feeling—and quickly got worse.
In this episode, you'll hear the full story of:
Our dogs, Shy and Heist, are getting loose and running miles deep into a massive conservation area with ZERO cell service.
The tension of tracking a lost dog toward a state highway and onto locked private property.
Why I believe in the "Less than 30°F Rule" for coon hunting, and how it came true.
The crucial protocol that saved the night: Calling the local Sheriff's office for help to access private land and retrieve a lost dog.
The shocking, freezing riverbank rescue where we finally found Shy fighting a coon under a massive root ball.
Ultimately, this was a difficult, freezing night that proved the importance of trusting your gut and doing the right thing.
What do you think about the 30° rule for coon hunting? Let us know where you hunt in the comments below!
