That 7 month old puppy from Indiana, is now just a year old and came within a couple minutes of winning her first hunt, in her first hunt.
In her first cast, she got off by herself every single drop, and treed the only two coon we saw that night. The problem is that she took a first and first minus on a split tree where there was a dead tree leaning against her tree, and we couldn't find the coon. It was a mistake, but one I would easily forgive in a 12 month old on a cold winter's night. She almost recovered with a first and a first on another coon in the last drop, but treed it just over a minute past the 120. BTW... there was only 5 minutes on the clock, when we cut them loose!
I din't come home with the hardware, but I was plenty proud of her! She's not a first strike dog, but if she's treed with another dog it's purely by coincidence, becasue I've seen her split just 20-50 away (with the meat) on multiple occasions.
