Bluspeck 12/08
Wow we have been blessed with great weather.... last yr at this time we were 3 feet deep in the white stuff. It was a nice still night and 35 degrees, I decided to go for a walk I followed the railroad tracks behind my house about 3/4 mile to the North to reach some big hardwoods where I can always tree my biggest coon. I have been pushing the young Samson pup but tonight I took Bluspeck by himself since the poor guy has been slightly overlooked lately while putting woods time on his grandson!
I cut Blu into the hardwoods he headed East and struck a couple hundred yrds in. I have never ever owned a dog that could flat out drift a track like Bluspeck. That is why he is just not good to train pups with they end up hunting him trying to keep up instead concentrating on the coon track.
Blu drifted back and forth and worked another couple hundred yrds up into the ravines, heard the locates and steady chop. When I got to him he had a real nice sized coon up a maple on the side of the ravine. 

At the crack of the rifle the coon came out full of life I had just grazed it's head! 
It was a nice sized sow, got her skinned and cut Blu back into the hardwoods.

Bluspeck struck close to 600 yrds above me again, as I walked in his direction I heard the steady tree chop way up in the distance. He had the still night ringing it was awesome to hear him tree so hard on such a clear beautiful night! Got to him and he was treed solid on a leaning tree.

Found the coon it was a really good sized boar coon. The crack of the Ruger brought him down.

It was a real nice furred boar so I got the small scale out of my pocket..24.2 lbs. biggest this year!

Got the coon skinned out and headed home...the Sportdog said home was 1.71 miles not bad at all!
