Iron Man and Tana Nov 10
Hi,
Roger Rowan called Saturday and wanted to go hunting.
I didn't really feel like going, but Roger needed to get Tana out. She had not been hunted. Iron Man and Tana are littermates out of Ziggy and Ramblin Jane, a daughter of Rambler. Jane is a littermate to Whiner, who sold for $8500 at 8 years old. She is also a littermate to Tess, owned by Rick Mick. Tess won the Kansas State Hunt 2 or 3 years ago.
We watched TV until about MN. Loaded Ramblin Lou (another daughter of Rambler), Iron Man, and Tana. Took Lou because I had not hunted her last year at all. Wanted to see if she could still run those tracks like a freight train. Moon up bright and frost on the ground.
Went to a 500 acre corn field with standing corn about 0030 and turned loose. We had an exceptional crop year and grain storage is almost nonexistent. Iron Man struck over to the right. Lou struck in deep, straight ahead, and Tana went with Iron Man.
Lou's track went in a drain tile at the irrigation lake. She gave that good locate and all got silent. Iron Man, in the meantime, had treed and we headed towards the tree. He had a big, viny oak, but I could not find a coon. Tana was there working around the area, not barking, just using her nose.
Pulled Iron Man off the tree and headed in the direction of the lake. Lou met us about a couple hundred yards or so down the field road. Turned them loose again. Lou struck in about 200 yards or so from us. Iron Man opened and the race was on. They treed about 400 yards ahead of us. Walked to the tree listening for Tana, but never heard her or saw her. Got to the tree in a fence row. It was a huge leafy pin oak with Iron Man and Lou blowing the top out. Squalled and squalled, but couldn't get the coon to look. Pulled them off and sent them on.
Lou and Iron Man struck about 300 yards in and ran a track straight for the irrigation lake. They treed and we walked to them. Sitting in a small maple, by a small pond off to the right of the lake, was a coon. The coon was low, so Iron Man was screaming at the tree with no chops. Tana came into that tree, smelled up the tree and began to tree. She has a loud chop and we listened to tree music for awhile.
My question about Lou was answered. She can still fly. She is a littermate to PKC Silver Ch. Gr. Nt. Ch. Osage River Boomer, that Tom Wilbers owned. She is also a littermate of Snitch, that Greg Minkler owned. Snitch is well known in PKC circles. Snitch has won several hunts. Lou's only claim to fame is that of coondog. Doubt that statement? Bring the best you have. We will turn yours loose after midnight, when the easy coons are up, and see what your dog can do. Then we will turn Lou loose in the same woods or go to a different spot and turn her loose.
We petted the dogs. Gave the oreo treatment and headed for the truck. It was about 0130 when we got there. Loaded up and talked for awhile and then headed home to a warm bed and slumber.
Good Hunting,
Robert
