12-11-13 hunt
I decided to give my young dog "Krypt" a short hunt tonight. I wanted to put him in some tough situations to see how he would handle and operate. Tonight with the temps, snow , a little wind and moon, I was wanting it tough on him. Conditions were 14 degrees with several inches of snow and bright out. It was just me and Krypt. First drop he fires in there good and falls treed at 400 yards, is treeing very hard. Its a ash tree going up into 2 large oaks. I couldn't find the coon. Krypt was treed right and sure thought he had it and so did I. He rarely misses.My second drop was in a section that is a tough section to tree coons in no matter what time of year or weathers condtions.I really wasn't expecting much in the area but I wanted to keep making it tougher on him . I cut him loose, he makes about a 100 yard loop around behind me, then heads out. He falls treed at 500 yards in. He is treed in a tree that is thick and has low hanging limbs that tie into several hedge trees. I couldn't find the coon. It was a tough night. I was pleased with how he hunted and handle the conditions. He was ready for more, but the temps were starting to drop quick I thought it best we call it a night.
KRYPT
