It's been a light rain for several days now. Took Roy and Ruby to the easy spot and walked them into the woods. They took off right away, I kept walking but never saw them. Finally I heard Roy, he opened up on a tree. I thought it might be slick just from the sound of it. I headed to him. Ruby was there but wasn't going to tree. Instead she screamed a track out in the corn. Roy couldn't take the pressure and left his tree to go after her. They ran hot for a few minutes and then Roy treed again. This time he was there to stay. Ruby tried to pull him again but finally she settled down and treed too. It was about a 25 lb coon up the tree. Ruby and Roy might make good training partners this fall. Roy stops a little too soon and Ruby doesn't want to stop. They might just balance each other out.
