Met Paul on the river. Sent Nitro and Josie east from the far edge of the middle field. They struck about halfway down. Nitro must have been winding a coon on the other side of the river. He was swimming across so we called him in.
Put Nitro on a "hot" track and sent Josie in behind. Nitro located and treed, Josie milled a little then treed with him. Good for her to see a strange dog and fight a coon with him.
Corn is still not ripe anywhere I've hunted. For now, I'll just hunt there with my old dog Mabel. Until I start treeing coons right in the corn, it's too risky to hunt a young dog there. Once the coons are in the corn, I think Josie will be one of my best sweet corn dogs. Won't be long now.
