HUNT
Drake and myself went for a little while last night. First drop we cut Cy and Andy loose in the hills. They struck fairly quick and seemed like a good track. Cy wasn't opening as much but Andy really was liking it. I got a sneaky feeling that it wasn't right. They weren't leaving the area but were making some large circles. I moved around and they were quiet. Andy soon started cold trailing and Cy put in with him. I think they were running a fox to start but fell off on a coon track. They worked the track down a holler and hit a small branch. Andy loaded up treed and Cy soon treed as well. We got to them and they were split. We found neither coon. I was a little frustrated about not finding the coon. I accused Andy of just missing. We cut them again and they went about 400 yds and Andy just fell treed. We got to them and Cy came in to me. We looked and couldn't find a coon here either. It was a large sweet gum with lots of leaves. I am really frustrated at Andy by now. We cut again and they hit a decent track and soon made there way to the bottom. They treed and we made our way to them. They were treed up a large tree but it didn't have a leaf on it. We backed off in the fresh cutover and looked for about 20 minutes. I didn't see a coon. I was really mad by now. I got my spotlight out and looked one more time and man there was the coon sitting out on a limb as plain as day!! How did I miss that sucker I don't know. The coon would never look no matter how hard or loud we squalled or beat on that tree. I got the rifle and shot him out to the dogs. It made me feel somewhat better about the night as I could have over looked coons in the other trees as well. It won't be long and there will be no leaves on the trees and we will know for sure, most of the time!! Gone hit it tonight!!
Y'all Keep'em Lookin' Up!!
