The big coon walks late

Posted by Joseph Sweat on August 17, 2009 at 04:44

Has anyone heard the rural expression: "The big coon walks late." My understanding is that it is an expression of racoon (coon) hunters meaning the wise hunter waits until later in the night to bag the big coons. Does anyone know of any different origin?
