I don't post much about my nights pleasure hunting, getting the dogs tuned and ready for the hunts...
I took Zero and Rocks sister ( I been calling her Rockette- HAHA) out last night.
1st drop- Cut the dogs toward a pretty nasty swamp where I had a dog moccasin bit last year... Zero opened followed by rockette, covered the track in short order and Zero located, then started blowing the top out. Rockette backed. Three coon in the tree. All of about 4 minutes used...
2nd- RECUT off the tree... Rockette must not have ever been PKC hunted, she kept wanting to go back to the tree, meanwhile Zero struck deeper in the swamp... ran the track fast.. Located and blew up right.. Rockette covered again..Walking in I seen a coon about two trees deeper and thought he had missed, but he had a coon up his tree too. Plus em up again, 2 coon seen.. about 10 minutes used.
3rd- RECUT off the tree - Dang Rockette liked the smell around the tree again... but is getting the point by this time.. Zero knows better and struck about 250 yards deeper in. Similar to first two, blistered the track, located and treed. Huge Cyprus tree, couldn't see the top- Circle- was on the edge of a Deep, deep black swamp hole.. made me uneasy, especially w/ the bubbles coming from the middle ( gator) didn't shine long. 20 minutes used
Figured we had about wore out our welcome in this big swamp, so loaded up and moved.
4th drop- Cut Zero and Rockette again, different swamp about 5 minutes driving from first. Rockettes collar quit for some reason, was wondering where she was when I seen her circle through. About that time Zero opened about 400 yards, smoked the track to about 600 , threw the locate where I know hes got him, and hammered down. Rockette was still MIA. I am lazy if the terrain allows, so I got in the truck and drove around to Zero. By the time I got there Rockette was covering. Rolled out a big boar coon that had plenty of fight left in him, Zero probably has a new scar or two. ( coon season is in all year long in Florida).
I had a ball. Called it a night. Made 4 trees, seen 6 coon in under an hour. Wild, no buckets. Zero was showing off because he thinks Rockette is pretty... HAHAH.. I think she's a pretty nice dog, but Zero was on fire last night.
