Close Call
Wow, talking about a close call, we had one tonight, While out coon hunting tonight, the young dog we recently purchased was running a coon to catch, threw that big locate and next thing we heard was what sounded like a tree falling it made so much noise. Silence from the dog, luckily he had treed close to us and upon investigation we ascertained that he had fallen from a leaning tree, approximately 20 feet off the ground ( coon still in the tree ). We thought sure he had seriously injured himself, but he came around, must have knocked the breath out of him, limping slightly he was put into truck. Went on hunting with our other dog and treed another coon, decided to get the dog back out and check him over good, he wanted to go hunting and seemed just fine. I said turn him loose and he went hunting, struck, ran and treed 3 coons up one tree. I was so thankful that he seemed to be okay, will check him out again in the morning, but he seems okay. Thank GOD, these dogs are pretty tough and GOD was watching over him. You really never know what can happen, it was just a fluke thing, he was right on that coon and followed the coon up that leaning tree, until he fell off and was really close to us when it happened ( we were road hunting ).
