So I took her out tonight with the old hound thinking I might tree 1 ahead of the cold front that's in the forecast for tomorrow. The 2 dogs took off good but both circled back to me, which is unusual for the old hound. I sent them on again and they went there own way this time after they were about 350-400 yards. The old dog went about 950 more yards and treed. The female, Lucy, came back to me. We drove around with in 250 yards of him and waited to see if she would go back him. She never did so we walked on in to him. She followed us in but never said a word the whole time even when shining the tree. We couldn't find anything so we led the old dog out and she just followed along. Where we had parked, there is a watering hole so we let the old hound get a drink and while he was lapping up water Lucy left out with her nose to the ground. I watched her on the gps and when she was about 250 yards I turned my old hound loose. He left the same way she did and soon they were both telling us about it. She has a better mouth than him so I could hear her start treeing first but she wasn't staying put real good. We drove around closer and walked in, but when we were about 50 yards away I could see her about 30 feet from the tree looking at us. Once I started talking to her she came to us and we snapped a lead on her. We tied her near the tree and made a lot of excitement when we found the coon, which got her to barking more. Then we shot the coon out dead, and gave it to her. She hadn't ever had 1 before so she didn't know what to think but soon began chewing on it. She will need some tree work right now.
