Sheba 11

Took Sheba out for a run tonight. Turned her down a spring fed branch, She went in about 200 yards and struck a track and started moving it out of there. I knew we were in for a bad night when she turned east and crossed a cut over and around the back side of some 20 year old planted pines where she swung back north up the side of a lake. There is a nice strip of hardwood along a lake drain on the north side of the lake. I was hoping the coon would take a tree on my side of the lake drain, but it didn't happen. On the other side of that drain is about a 1000 acre 15 year old clear cut. That use to be one of the prettiest swamps that you could ever walk through, but it will be a long time before it will be that way again. When she got in there about 200 yards. I decided I had better start calling while she could still hear me, so I waited until she made a lose where she could hear me. I called a few times and in a few minutes she was standing beside the 4-wheeler. We loaded up and traveled on down the river. I cast her down the river and she went in 150 yards and struck a working track and moved it on in another 200 yards and treed. I walked in to her. and she was treed up a pretty good sized hardwood that was loaded with big vines. I shined for a while, but I didn't figure I would ever see him because it was so thick in there. I walked in to leash Sheba and before I got to her I looked strait up and there it was looking down at me from about half way up. We left him to run again. We called it a night.
