HUNT
I went by myself last night. First drop I cut Andy ( my new hound) alone down the bottom. He went right by a deer so there was one positive to start the night. Andy went about 200 yds and hit the creek. He opened a few times but never really got anything going. He got about 800 yds and I drove around. He came out on a logging road and I caught him up. I cut him in the hills next alone. He went about 275 yds and fell treed. Treed good on a huge water oak that split 3 ways. I couldn't find a coon but it could have been there. Next drop I cut Cotton, Cy, and Andy in a bottom. Cotton went one way and Andy went the other. Cy started with Andy but was soon headed Cotton's way. Andy struck and Cotton opened deeper. They worked a track down the bottom. Andy was in the creek and Cotton was coming across the bottom to the creek. They got about 800yds and I drove around. Cotton soon loaded up and I headed in down an old road. I got to her an Cy was there too. I got him fired up on the tree and he treed pretty good on it. She had the meat right on the creek. Andy had taken a left hand turn and soon was nearly out of hearing. I finished up at the tree and headed to the truck. I drove around and the closest I could get was over 1000yds. He was treed and I cut out to him.I waded thru cutover and a pine thicket for about 45 minutes but finally made it to him. He is a nice tree dog and treed solid. He was treed up a pine tree and had the meat. The top must have broken out of the pine and that coon fell out right to him. I finally made it out to the truck and called it a night. Andy needs tuned up but I liked what I saw last night. Deep and alone and doesn't pay attention to what nothing else is doing. Good cold nose and can drift and move a bad track. I will be interested to see what he can get done after a month of hard hunting. Here is a video of my Cyclone pup treeing last night.7 months old, I think he might make a tree dog!!
Y'all Keep'em Lookin' Up!! Darren
