9TH NIGHT OF SEASON
Just got in from hunting. We took my brothers black female"RAVEN", ZEUS, and my pup out of Penny&Jack,"BASH".
First drop, Zeus went 500 yards opposite of Raven, Bash was somewhere out there between them. Bash came back and checked in, but turn and headed right back in. Raven gets treed as Zeus is making his way back towards us. I thought he was backing Raven but was trying to tree 25 feet from her. I tied him back. Raven had the coon. I laid a drag for the pup and hung it up. He found it in short order and immediately started treeing on it. I left it hanging to pick up later on our way back through. We walked out 150 yards or so next to the field and cut all 3 loose again. They all took off in the same direction. A few minutes go by and the pup loops back behind us. It doesn't take long and he is treeing there back on the drag, hang up. Zeus goes back in and tree 10 feet from the pup, Raven is in this general direction but 80 yards away and trees. The pup is not tied back and is treeing good, holding all kinds of pressure with Zeus just treed 10 feet away, and Raven blowing the top out of her tree. I tie Zeus back. Raven has another coon. I knock the hang up out to the pup. We move to another place by truck. We cut them, Raven opens followed by Zeus, The pup went off in the opposite direction. Raven and Zeus tree, we get there they are split 10 yards apart. both trees go up and tie in together, this is a den tree. we cut back from there they get treed again but not sounding right, after looking we figured it slick. We let them know they missed and sent them on. They go another 200 yards and tree, Raven first with Zeus backing quickly. They have the meat. I lay a longer drag and hang up much higher. I cut BASH loose he finds it in no time and starts treeing, I let him tree for a while and push it out to him. I call it a night and head home. I am real please with how BASH is coming along. This was his third night out. He is becoming more and more intense on the coons. Watching these young dogs and pups progress really makes it enjoyable. Below is some pictures of tonights hunt.
