Smoke
forensic anthropologist education and training
Took Smoke down the river a few miles to a place I have not hunted in a few months, dropped him off an old woods road. It is a nice swamp, but with all the rain we have had it has been flooded a lot this year, and there is still a lot of water in there. Smoke left on the run as he usually does and soon he was 450 yards and covering a lot of ground as he was not hunting in a strait line. He was still headed south when I noticed on the garmin that he took a hard right to the west and crossed the road that I had come in on and struck a pretty good track. I went back to about where he had crossed. and he had went across about a 50 acre field that had tall grass in it where the deer hunters had planted grass for the deer. About the time I stopped the 4-wheeler I heard Smoke lock up treed. I went around the field to the other side and Smoke was treed up a hugh Wild Pecan tree about 30 yards out in the field. I started walking around the tree shinning and about half way around the tree he looked at me. since I didn't get one out on him the other night. I decided to try and get this one for him. I had left the rifle on the 4-wheeler so I had to go get it. When I got back I found him again, but he would only look for a second and turn away. I could not put the bright light on him for he wouldn't look at it, and I could barely see the sights with the red light. I didn't want to shoot until I had a good shot, as I didn't want to wound him and then could not find him. He finally quit looking, so I petted Smoke up and told him that tomorrow I would go to town and find a scope that I could see through. We called it a night.
