HUNT

Went for a little while last night in the rain. Drake and myself went and took Cotton, John Wayne and my 9 mth old pup Blade. Cotton struck in at about 200yds and John struck to her left. Cotton started working track down bottom and John was soon with her. They did a good job on the track as it was raining pretty good and the bottom was FULL of water. After about 750 yds John loaded up and Cotton let out her big locate about a minute later and both dogs treed solid. We worked our way to the tree. I knocked an armadillo in the head with Drake's ax handle and got him out of the way. We got in to the tree and John was treed on a big oak tree and Cotton was split about 50 yds past him. I leashed up John and went to handle Cotton. We looked Johns tree first but couldn't find his coon. We got to Cotton's tree and soon found a large coon in her tree. Could have been one in John's tree but didn't see it, so I don't know if he just missed or I couldn't find it. I am liking his independence and he has split the last two times out. He is holding his tree and treeing hard. My Blade pup came in to Cotton and treed good with her after we got there. We were soaked and got a late start so we called it a night. Going after them again tonight.
I am going to brag on my hunting partner a little. Everyone knows how hard it is to get a good hunting partner and I have got the best one I could have. Drake is my 15 yr old son and he has really learned a lot about these old hounds and how to train them. If the girls don't get him he is going to make a good coonhunter. He is tough and never complains how rough it is or how hot it is outside. He goes with me just about every time I go. He is learning what the difference is between a dog that will tree a few coons and a real coondog. I am proud of him and will always remember these times him and I spent chasing these blue haired pot lickers around in the bottoms. Y'all Keep'em Lookin Up!!! Darren

Hunt

We made one turnout with BB, John , and Rickett. BB looked like her old self tonight. Rickett struck at about 50 yds and John soon opened with him. Something didn't seem right with it and BB never opened. She soon opened at 150 yds and drove a track about 150 yds more and slammed tree. We got to tree and John came in and half heartedly treed. Rickett came in short time later and same story. Wasn't long til I found BB's coon. She did excellent job and is looking more like days of old before my dillar breaking sessions. Got Cotton turned alone right now. Been gone 15 minutes and no bark so far. Darren.

Hunt

Well Cotton got deep and got treed solid. I walked up to tree and she was acting sort of aggressive. After about a minute I knew why. She had gotten some bees stirred up and I felt the wrath about 5 times. Lol. Got her off tree with just a little swelling on me and her. She had the meat and we called it a night after that one. Darren.

Hunt

Didn't get to go to hunt Saturday night. I had to oversee putting up new football board at MCHS in Guin. We got the school this year from coke and we were there from 7:15 am til 5:45 pm. I got home and ate and got a shower it was too late to make deadline. I just went hunting for awhile. It didn't turn out too good. Turned John an BB loose. They struck bad track and trailed all over the whole bottom. Finally got treed in creek bank and BB wouldn't let me catch her. Fun , fun!!!!!! Finally got them gathered up and didn't even see a coon. Cotton and my pup rode around in dog box all night. Try again Monday night. Y'all keep'em lookin up. Darren

HUNT

Turned them loose for a little while last night. I cut Cotton, John Wayne and My 9mth old pup Stroker. John and Stroker struck something pretty quick but Cotton never opened on it. She soon was 250 yds in bottom and got struck. Both John and Stroker quit whatever they were messing with and went to Cotton. They trailed a decent track deep into the bottom and got nearly out of hearing. I drove around and got closer. Soon Cotton got quiet and just exploded on a tree. John hit it pretty quick and hammered as well. When we got nearly to the tree, ole Stroker started treeing. He was trying to split tree but was going to Cottons tree as well. Cotton was on a big den and he soon settled in treeing with her and John. I started squalling and soon found young coon in top of Cotton's tree. There were more than one up there but was hard to tell. Tree must have been really slick because that coon fell out. Stroker got on him pretty good and soon made quick work of him. Cotton and John got a little reward as well since it "FELL OUT"!!! Turned John and Stroker alone on next drop and they struck bad track. Both tried hard but couldn't ever put a tree on it. Caught them up and called it a night. Yall Keep'em Lookin Up!! Darren

Hunt

Went for a little while last night. Turned Cotton and my pup loose first. Cotton ended up leaving my pup and he came back out. Cotton got struck at about 700 yds and started working a track she got it up and going but coon soon took a turn up a ditch towards road. I got around there and after about 2 cars went by about 70 mph, I got nervous and caught her up. Went and cut BB and John loose. John struck and BB followed. After a short track John treed in ground. BB had quit and skipped on out. I shocked John and he decided them Dillars wouldn't much fun. BB got deep so we drove around. Got out and BB was knocking the top out. John was there but wasn't treeing well. We got in there and soon I found coon. I chained John back and BB got rewarded for a good job. I cut Cotton again and she ended up covered the whole bottom but never got struck. We called it a night. Should be back on my hunting schedule next week. Y'all keep'em lookin up. Darren

HUNT

Made a couple drops last night. I cut Cotton, BB and John Wayne loose. BB, Cotton and John struck in that order. They were after a good track and moved out good. They soon were getting hard to hear and I drove around. When I got out of the truck Cotton was locating and started hammering a tree. John joined her , so we headed in to the tree. Cotton had coon, but BB was still headed up the holler trailing. She crossed a gravel road and went up a steep holler and gave a locate and quit. Must have went in ground and she will no longer tree in ground. Got her caught up and went for another drop. JOHN and then BB struck quick but Cotton never said a word. I was wondering what was going on when Cotton opened one time. It was a good track and BB and John soon loaded up. Cotton barked one more time and took lock jaw. I soon seen why when I got to the tree ole smiley was looking down at me. Big ole Possum!! I had collar on John and BB so I shook him out and let tritronics do a little talking!! LOL They didn't want much to do with that ole stinking possum after that session. Cotton came in to see what all the excitement was about and looked like she had seen a ghost. I have never whipped or shocked her on possums, guess she just don't like them!! Yall Keepem lookin up!! Darren

HUNT

Hunted for a little while last night. Took BB, Cotton, Blade, and my nephew took Rickett. We cut all dogs and Rickett got struck but wasn't doing much with the track. Cotton got struck separate and BB joined her. They worked a track DEEP , about 690 yds and started coming back towards us. All dogs got split up with BB going around an old pond, Rickett deep in bottom, and Cotton steady working up an old ditch. All dogs were struggling some as the track wasn't too good. Soon I heard Cotton let out her screaming locate and start hammering the tree. We drove around to her and she was treed on a HUGE clump of privot hedges with muscadine vines everywhere. There were half ripe muscadines all over the ground. Coons are definitely starting to feed on these berries. The tree was so thick I couldn't even see the top and soon just gave up finding the coon. Rickett came in to the tree and we caught him up. BB was still working track around the old pond but was getting close to road so I just caught her and we called it a night as the boys have school today. Getting Cotton ready to hunt at the Fall Roundup in Oct. I am excited to go!! Y'all Keep'em Lookin' Up!! Darren

HUNT

I sure need to thin down some!! I may have a couple nice young dogs running and treeing for sale soon!! Got way too many to hunt right now. I am looking forward to hunting season and some cooler weather. We had a Couple months of hunting here that was rough on dogs and handlers. Seem to be able to get after some decent tracks here now. Coons are starting to check muscadines, so they are at least stirring at regular hours. Y'all Keep'em Lookin' Up!! Darren
