What a difference one night makes. Monday night I ran a "hot" one down by the trailer site. Josie had a real tough time. It was bone dry and dusty. Down on the river, in those fields it's just like a desert when it gets dry. She treed, but I couldn't see the coon.
Tonight it was like another world. It had really rained hard, it was wet and foggy. I walked Josie into the corn, and to my surprise, it was ripe and there was already damage!
Josie hunted out a little, struck, ran a short track, located and treed in the woods along the creek. I had to look a long time, but I finally found the coon.
I was planning to hunt Mable down there this week, but now I think it will be Josie for about two weeks. She's the pup & needs experience. This spot where the corn is ripe is close to roads & Josie hunts close. I'll save Mabel for the fields beyond the club gate.
