I had a reasonably good hunt considering the wind. In fact, didn't hear much of any tracks, and had a 10 foot branch just miss me by 3 feet up on a hardwood ridge.
The snow nearly had the grass covered as I pulled out last night. I got 8 miles down the road and the snow changed to rain. Then in the next 15 miles the pavement was dry. The first drop the dog went 900 yards in 6 minutes and she was treed at 7 minutes at 989 yards. It was a large extremely fat sow.
On a side note, on the way to the tree I saw a buck tending a doe. They were only 20 yards from me. I was talking to them, and even hit the buck square in the face with a bright light. He never took his eyes off the doe who was laying down panting.
Second drop harvested a large boar. Third drop treed what I thought was a huge coon up a swamp white oak. I saw an eye and shot. Down came one coon, and up the tree ran two coon. I just may need to get my eyes checked.
Funny thing was the weather was almost identical going home as when I left. It was snowing pretty good at home.
