Just me and Lumber tonite
Lumber treed the biggest coon i think i have ever seen tonight. I stopped at an S curve on a country road, got Lumber out an started walking down a fence row. Lumber started whineing like he had just wind a coon. I reached down to unsnap him and say, CUT! he is gone! the race was on in about 30 seconds. This is a huge section for my area. After about 2 or 3 minutes, I thought oh no dam this track can't be good, but he is mouthing the ground, if it was a deer he would be barking and running by wind. He took the track to the east side of the woods i was looking at, it's a ways back there, he went through it and circled to the west. Theres another woods over a quarter mile north west, so i am thinking if this is a coon it's gota go up in there. Lumber took the track by this woods and is burning ground, now i am thinking dam i know this can't be good. My Garmin GPS says Lumber is .7 mi northwest and still moving, I can't here him now for the rain and wind. Now I am getting pissed. I Had just called Russ, before I turned lose and he said call him back when Lumber gets one treed. I was in there pretty deep by now and I see The Garmin says he is circleling back my direction. great! I get to a tree line running west to east and he making his way to the tree line still burning ground. He turns down the tree line coming my direction, I cross the tree line. I am taking my lead strap off and getting ready for a good session of what the H_ _ _ are you doing. Lumber piles on a tree, I call Russ, Now Russ heres him on the cell phone. Lumber is seeming out Chops and I say to myself goodness I don't know how he can have any breath left to tree with. I say ok Russ he is a Burner! yes? call you back later. I am at the tree now and starting to shine and then I see why Lumber is treeing on a bush next to the tree I am shinning. Wholly crap it looks like he has a bear up a bush. I can see her tits, she is just above me, this his the biggest dang coon I ever saw. Got my A_ _ back out from under her, she is pissed!!! I get Lumber on a lead, tied back and she bales out. Let her go! Sure gald he treed when he did! I like this hound a lot and he is very affectionate to me, I can just show him a folded lead and I think he understands he has done wrong. What a nite! Lumber treed three more singles on the outside and a den, Lumber and I quit when the rain strom hit about 1:30 AM. Lumber will be on his way, in a couple weeks MAYBE. I have some well bred (BELLAR BRED) pups to keep me busy.
