That track was one of many. From about mid August to mid October we had at least one good bean field runner each night. That's why I couldn't get weight on Luke. The hounds are often 10 to 20 yards behind the coon. The coon is hot putting off lots of scent & the hounds are going nuts attempting to run it hard. They sometimes get it treed but often they just get beat up. There's no hair around their eyes, nose is raw and seeping a little blood. The eyes matter shut and they get a little tougher. Beans are harvested or dried down now & I'm glad. The hounds catch them now if they try running in the beans. I attempt to stay away from beans when there dried down. Beans will shatter if hounds hit them. Tim Stone has two sisters, Sadie & Kate to Luke & Fancy. Tim was up for a hunt tonight. His Sadie & Fancy ran a good track down a big creek a half mile and got treed right. We drove around and walked to them 850 yds. Those two gyps were treed right until we arrived at the tree. The litter there from is working out. For 13 month old young dogs there nice. No water barking, no track jacking, no babbling, get deep to strike and as accurate of treedogs as I have seen. Luke has worked himself into hunting alone time. Sorry I'll have to pass up a lot of fellowship hunts but that's the bad breaks. Fancy needs to be more confident on cold scent trees. When and if she gets the confidence, she will be a tough little hound to beat.
