hunt
Took Screech out last night. Beautiful night. 56 degrees no wind, I think you could hear a pin drop. 1st dump struck at 200 yards and run it about 75 yards into a brush pile. I Recasted off the brush pile and never got struck. Screech hunted out about 600 yards and did a Big u moving in and out between 200 and 600 yards. After about 30 minutes he checked in. he spent a lot of time in one area and checked lot of trees, but never said a word. If he would have went 200 or 300 hundred yards deeper he would have hit a creek bed, and I felt he would have got something going.
2nd dump was much better. Screech struck at about 500 hundred yards. He moved around much better this time, and was struck in about 2 to 3 minutes. He did a nice job on the track, using his mouth the way I like. opening with a few barks and putting a good distance between barks. Screech took the track about 400 yards in from where he struck, and then went another 200 or 300 hundred yards east, then back towards me. He ended up treed on a big hemlock about 300 yards from me with the meat. It was about midnight so I called it a night. When I got home I thought about turning Chief lose. It was just such a nice night, But my better judgment said end on a good and easy night.
