It should be a great night.
Have you ever thought hey this is great weather to coon hunt, and then go and it's not so great?
Friday night here in central Michigan, it was dark over cast and the low was basically going to be the same all night of about 40 degrees. I had a tire issue so I decided rather than press my luck that I was just going to stay home. Then when i went to feed the dogs it was beautiful outside. At that time I thought I had made an error in judgement.
Saturday afternoon, I asked the misses what she wanted to do. She said, "shopping". So I did the good husband thing and said lets go. The boys were all busy and gone. So we made an afternoon of it, and ended by having dinner out. As we left the restaurant, it was already dark, clear and cold with a stiff biting wind. Dang, i did made an error in not hunting the night before.
Fact is time in the woods is time in the woods whether cold or not. So when I got home I started getting ready. Our first drop was late at 10:16 pm, and all surface water was already frozen with an air temperature of 29 degrees. My expectations were low.
Imagine my surprise when we had an excellent night making 4 trees with 4 coon seen. Moral of the story. Sometimes just ignore the weather and go cut that dog loose.
