PLEASURE HUNT AT FALL ROUND UP
I had the opportunity to invite Jeff Lovell, Phil Davis on a pleasure hunt on Friday Night. Tony Lane and Trey Melton also came along to see the hounds go. We met up with another friend of mine Josh Enlow, Josh guided us on this pleasure hunt. We hunted 4 dogs. Jeff had a young female, not sure of her name or what she was out of, Phil hunted the "Bocephus" dog out of Bo x Sadie, Josh hunt "Jack" a young male out of Harpeth River Blue Jack X the China female I had, I hunted "Bash", Bash is out of Harpeth River Blue Jack X Anderson Fox Creek Penny that Lowell Stewart owns. The hunt wasn't the best but we had a good time. First drop we cut all 4. It wasn't long and we heard dogs treed. Bocephus and Bash were treed together on a hedge, couldn't find the coon. Jack was split treed about 40 yrds from Bo and Bash, couldn't find Jack's coon. Jeff's female was running track in the corn. We got all dogs together and cut back loose. On this 2nd drop, Bo, Bash and Jack were treed together on a large maple den. Jeff got his hands on his female and we all headed back to the truck. We went to another spot and cut them loose again. Jack falls treed by himself not far from us, we let him tree a while. Bash hits in there close to Jack , but takes a track on to the south, hitting here and there . We go to Jack, can't find the coon and recast him. Bo, Bash and Jeff's female come treed. We get there, Bo is treed on a big oak . Bash and Jeff's female split treed from Bo about 30 yrds on a big oak also. We shined both trees and was unable to find coons. The Jack dog was on in deeper. It was getting late, Jeff, Phil, Trey and Tony headed back to Flora. I went on with Josh to help him get Jack gathered back up. We drove around to the next section and was able to get real close to him and Josh called him on in. All in all it wasn't that bad of a hunt, just couldn't find the coons. A couple trees, Im sure they missed. There was a couple trees, I believe the coon was there, but you never know. It was an enjoyable night listening to the hounds go and a pleasure hunting with theses men and their hounds.
