Monday

Could use some rain on the river. It is really tough tracking now. Josie and Belle were on a "hot" one. Josie located and suckered Belle into slick treeing. Josie went on and located again. I sent Belle after her. They were in the jungle by the swamp, on the edge of the middle field. Josie treed finally but it was really weak. I coould see the coon from out in the field. I got in there and made her stay, then Belle came and backed her up...

I was drenched in sweat by the time I got back to the truck. The dogs looked pretty rough too. I decided to call it a night.
A cop saw me coming out of the gate and followed me. Finally pulled me over. She didn't know much about the property or coonhunting. I think she felt like I must be up to no good but couldn't figure out what to do about it. She gave me my license back & I headed home.
It wasn't that big of a deal but it irritated me. I guess I was hot & tired & didn't feel like talking to a cop tonight.
