for some young dogs would it be a good idea to use a coon squaler to call up a coon for the dog to chase or should i call one up to shoot it and use it as a drag and sight in a tree?

Squalers imitate the sound of a dying coon and are useful to get a treed coon to show it's eyes and sometimes they will jump out.
99% of the time they will not call a coon.
best get you a copy of the 2 Walk With Wick books and read both of them. you can get them from Nite Light Co. you will learn a lot about starting young hounds from those books. they are the best available and are just good reading written in words that are not talking over your head.

iv seen pictures off coons called up on the ground by squalers so whats up there??

try anything you want.. that's how one will learn the truth.

Coon squaler ain't gonna call a coon. Driftwood Blue is right, go to plan B

I have seen them called in with predator calls but never with a squaler. You sure they were using a squaler and not a hand predator call?
