hunt
I had a guy come over and hunt with me last night. He didn't bring a dog, said he would handle one of mine. We took Chief and Tiffin River Bubba. I didn't except a great hunt. The moon was full and it was clear. 1st turn out we cut into a corn field, Bubba broke out of the corn and crossed a small Alfa field and struck on the edge of the woods. Chief went threw the corn and struck in the woods at the end about 500 yards in. Bubba took his track about 450 yards north and treed. Chief took his track 750 yards south then hooked back north about 200 yards and treed. Both dogs treed at about the same time. We went to Bubba, and he had the coon on the outside in a small hemlock. Then we went to Chief and he had his coon treed on a small ash tree. good split a nice job by both dogs. 2nd dump we dumped into another corn field. Chief struck, then bubba. They ran it out of the corn and Chief treed in the woods about 800 yards in. we started that way, stopped to see if we could hear Bubba ,and he had covered Chief. They had that one on the out side on a small pine tree. 3rd dump we cut into another big corn field. Chief opened twice at the other end of the corn and fell treed. Bubba opened in the middle of the corn field after Chief had treed and was trailing towards Chief. Chief was treed about 900 yards in. and I new we could get closer from the other road. We drove around and could here both dogs treed together. They had the coon on the out side on a big cherry tree. We called it a night. 4 trees 4 coon on the outside. Not at all what I thought the night would be. About the only time we had to turn our lights on, was when you were looking for the coon, and it took use about 30 seconds to find the coon on all the trees. Sure wish all the hunts went like this one. take care Dave
