OK Mike, I've got to ask......... what do you do with a coon on a log??????

It's an old time gambling event.

You put a coon on a log (usually a raft) floating in a pond. A good coonhound will swim out to get the coon. You can either bet on the coon or the hound.

The one that makes it back to shore first wins.

Usually one of them don't make it back at all.

By the way..............the coon has the advantage.

I have heard that a coon will hold a hound's head underwater and drown them. Is that true???

Isn't that how Jerry Clowers' hound "Highball" died? :lol: :lol:
