Last night was pretty much the season finale for the coon hunters in Massachusetts. And a nice night it was for Ellie ! Have been hitting the woods consistently through out the season, so tonight I decided just to hunt one dog.

First drop she made a decent tree. Couldn't find the coon. The second drop I decided to try a new area. All I was certain of was the good chunk of woods , and a country back road would minimize the risk of cars.The night air was crisp and made for good listening . It didn't take long before the chase was on. Ellie working sounded awesome in the cold air. It took about twenty minutes or so and a looooong bawl , then chop. TREED !! As I headed to the tree ,Yep , another swamp !! Choked with saplings , beaver runs and swamp grass. It took a bit to get into where Ellie was treed. I was hoping to see the coon walking in . No such luck. A medium size white pine sitting on the edge of a beaver pond. At first glance no eyes.Took a few minutes shining to reveal two coons sitting in different parts of the tree . Navigating a better vantage point,to get a shot I couldn't imagine any hound pushing a track in this mess. . Sure made for a nice night though!

Why is your season over so early. Does season close already? Ours just opened two weeks ago.

Hey guys thanks for the kind words.

Massachusetts season offically closes Jan 30th 2011. The next two weeks everything is closed except deer and coastland ducks. Seson re-opens Dec 11th. Pretty much by then the cold weather has settled in and the limited coon don't move too much.


Thanks
Jim

She DOES have a nice voice! Looks great as always!

Glad you got so much hunting in this season! Stay safe and warm and dry as possible for the winter season!
