Well, had an interesting night last night.. Early it seemed to be a real good night. I turned Dutch and Mayble loose, and it seemed as soon as i did, the wind really picked up (Bad). I dont really know how far they got before they stuck, because I couldn't hear them, But They were nearly a 1000 yards when they treed.... I got to them and they were treed in a big hollow tree ( den I suppose), With lack of intelligence on my part, I pulled them off, and cast them again, they split up this time, with Mayble goin up one hollow, and Dutch the other, Mayble opened first but just a few times, and got quite, then Dutch opened in the other hollow, and treed shortly after. When I got to him, I found him treed in the middle of a two acre pond, that was lightly froze over, on an old snag, I don't know how the ice was thick enough, to hold him, but I knew, if it broke through, there was no way I could save him so I started to call him, and he finally came to me,,,, So with all that I decided to catch Mayble and head home. Shew that was a close one.
Dang Bill, the Good Lord was with you & your hounds last night! That is crazy!
Harry & I hit it a lick last night too. Like you guys, that danged old wind was whistling good in the Woodlot country as well. The first drop with Tommy & Harry's nice young Walker gyp yielded a very good race & a den tree, with the whole bottom half of the coon visible in an opening/crack in the side of the tree. I would guess another coon may have been right above the one we were looking at & there wasn't room for that rascal to get any higher up in there. We left it to run again, not worth the chance of trying to get it to move & have it end up wounded or dead on the inside of that tree. The second dump with the Snowball yielded a pretty good race, but ended up in a dump. I guess it was fitting we turned Snow loose on that drop, cause those big ole snow flakes got to coming down pretty good while she was doing her thing! LOL
Take care,
Vic
