Smoke and Hank
I loaded up Smoke and Hank tonight and traveled down the river a few miles to a place I hunt from time to time. There is a lot of wood roads in there and some of it is good walking and some of it is rough. there are a lot of sloughs and water there and the wild hogs keep it pretty well rooted up and makes for bad walking. It looked like it might start raining at any time. It was lightening around, but I was wanting to get one treed. We probably want be able to get back out for the next few nights. we have a storm coming in that is suppose to hit the Gulf Coast tomorrow night. they think it will be a Hurricane by the time it hits land and from what the weather channel is predicting we are right in its path so we will probably get some wind and a lot of rain. I cast Smoke and Hank off an old woods road. They got in about 100 yards and Smoke turned south down a drain and Hank crossed the drain and kept going east. When Hank got in to the second drain he turned south. Hank hit an old cold track up in there, and I could see him checking trees on the Garmin, but it was just too cold for him and he was in a lot of water. Smoke turned east and then north and they crossed paths only a few feet from each other, but both dogs kept going their own way. and after a ways Hank made a circle and headed back north, but he was probably 400 yards from Smoke when Smoke stuck a good track and moved it on in a ways and locked up treed. Hank heard him and was on his way to him. I had to go around on another road and got to within about 50 yards to where Smoke was treed. He was treed close to the drain up a medium sized tree. I thank me and hank got there about the same time. Hank got to treeing with Smoke. I found the coon pretty quick and knocked it out to them. And although Hank didn't get in on the initial treeing, I think getting the coon out to him, will help him out. We made our way back to the 4-wheeler and it was still lightening around so we decided not to push our luck and called it a night.
