Made my first coonhuting trip in a while by myself and it was GREAT!
I had my wife help me hook up the trailer and load up the four wheeler several days ago. I had planned to go then but the other day when I was trying to load them Kitty tried getting out over Daisy and they pulled me the wrong way, had me locked up for a few days. Well I let it rest up and was planning on going tonight. Had my wife help me load the hounds and got to go. I tried calling a few, one was sick, the other was working. So I went by myself. Drove about an hour away to the river bottoms. Well got to the woods to start the night dropped out in a 20 ft deep creek that ended up being bone dry. Turned Daisy, Kitty, and then Lady loose. Well Kitty dissappeared and then Lady. Daisy was just tearing it up all around me, she was gone and then after a while would come back. Well I never saw Kitty or Lady. We didn't strike so I tried calling them in and Daisy was the only one I got. About the time I got Diasy in the box I could hear something in the wind. Then I could tell it was Lady then it almost sounded like another hound too. Well I pulled out the tracker and sure enough it was both of them. Well I ended up driving 2 miles to get near them and then walking another 2/3rds of a mile to get to them from there. By this time I could tell Kitty and Lady were treeing. Not bad to have a hound that has only been to the woods about 5 times and under a year old go like that. This litter sure has been special. While I was trying to get closer I could even hear Lady over the 4-wheeler she is sure getting a mouth on her the prettiest sounding hound I've ever owned and volume to spare. Ended up I was hearing her at over 2 miles straight thru the woods in thick timber. Well by the time I got there it was about 2 1/2 hours from when I turned loose and they had been treeing for 45 minutes that I knew of, Lady had quit treeing but she was there and Daisy went in to help out at about a half mile. I ended up seeing over 10 deer going into the tree and back Daisy almost ran into one but none of the dogs ran them at all. Lady walked right past 3 of them without messing with them. Anyway when I got to the tree after a good bit of shooting up in amongst em at the coon that wouldn't show but bits and pieces of his eye I got him. He ended up getting a piece of each hound too. Well with my restrictions this guy had me weighted out. For down here this is a big coon. So I leashed up the old dogs and went back. Pretty good night, in nice open woods, without any mess ups, just what I needed. Crazy thing was they were treed across a swamp that has been there so long there are no trees in it and the side water is so deep I'd never even seen it, just knew it was there. It's so dry I walked straight across it and barely seen any water. Well anyways here he is.
