Schoolboy Roy

Sent Roy north from the vegetable garden. He was going to turn & go behind me but I yelled at him & he came back the way I sent him. I liked that he listened to me. It's a good thing too, I know where the coons are better than he does right now. Sure enough he stuck about 50 yards in the woods. 3 barks & then quiet. About 1 minute and then more barks deeper in. This went on for about 15 minutes. Finally he treed about 1/2 mile in. He had a big coon up a large oak tree. I can see that Roy has lost some confidence, but he is doing very well this week. I expect him to be able to compete again in nite hunts by the spring.
