HUNT
Hunted last night for a little while.First drop we cut Cotton alone in a small creek bottom. She went about 300 yds and I heard her open 1 time and fell treed. She blowed the top out and we took our time going to her. We got to her tree and started shining and I couldn't see the coon. Drake said , " I know she has got him". I walked to the other side of the tree and there was a big hole in the side. I got where I could look up in the hole and there was a coon tail hanging down in plain view. Drake was right, she had him. We cut her off that tree and she struck at about 150 yds and worked a good track towards the creek. She gave a couple half hearted locates and was treeing but not right. We got to her and she was treeing on a high wall cliff that she couldn't get up. It was a sheer wall of rock. That ole coon was smart. Next drop we cut Andy alone. He went up the creek but kept trying to cross under the road. I finally caught him up and moved. He would be headed to a highway if he crossed under the bridge. We cut him in a different place and he struck in at 400 yds. He worked a track down the creek and up a deep ditch that comes from a beaver pond. He got treed but wasn't right. We got to him and he was on a huge blow down that fell out in the beaver pond. He just missed him. I am seeing a lot of things I like about Andy but I can tell he is rusty and is having to adjust to my hunting territory. He hunts hard, has a good mouth and is a good track dog. I am impressed with his nose and his ability to move a bad track out and get it going. We will know how good he can be in a few more weeks.We called it a night and got home at around 11:30. Drake has a cattle judging for school today so I got him on home fairly early. We have a UKC hunt at our club tonight. gone hunt Cotton and Andy or BB. BB is due in heat and can act silly at that time. Drake and myself met Rick Jordan in Fayette to deliver LOGAN to him. LOGAN is headed back to Wisconsin to Scott's kennel. I think Scott has a couple of gyps lined up to breed to him. Banjo will be coming down to Alabama for a few weeks. He will be here at Southern Bluetick Kennels. Trent Widner and myself will be breeding Dolly to him. Micheal Bowling will be breeding a heavy Smokey River Gyp to him. GOOD LUCK TO ALL BLUETICKERS IN THE HUNTS THIS WEEKEND. YALL PUT IT ON EM!!!!
Y'all keep'em Lookin' UP!!
