Damn coon was up the tree laughing like a hyena. Like something was tickling it. I didn't know what to think so I just grabbed my dog and left it.

I agree with B K H, but I would stay away from it when it fell out.

Several years ago, the area that I lived in became way overpopulated with coons and stayed that way for about 3 years. In 2007, a wave of distemper came through and wiped out most of the coon population. I saw a lot of coons doing crazy things that year, including one coon trying to come in my house with my girlfriend, at the time, hitting it with a broom trying to chase it off and another coon chasing its tail in circles on the center line of the highway with cars stopped and blowing their horns at it. We treed several that year that just didn't act right and I found at least 1 a week dead in the woods from no apparent cause for about a three month span. I quit letting my dogs touch a coon early in the season and finally quit hunting coons with my dogs that year because I got spooked that they would catch something.

I said all that to say this, if it doesn't act right stay away from it! It doesn't hurt to be careful.

I've never heard one in a tree make a laughing sound but I've heard it a lot on caged coon and coon in a corner or hole fighting with the dogs.

Thats ture, i never thought of that somethin might have been wrong with it. probabily a good idea u did walk away
