It was kind of fun to go to a hunt again. Only nine dogs up there. I drew out with Leon & a friend of Jesses. The first drop I screwed up and treed Roy early. The dogs went on and treed & I took last. The coon was there but Roy and the kids dog didn't seem to want to tree together very well. Next drop Roy and Gus treed, the tother dog came in but wouldn't tree with them, they left to follow that dog. They treed again about 4 minutes. That other dog kept coming in and leaving then it treed about 100 yards over. Ours left and treed with it. It left it's tree but finally came back. The tree was slick. I was minused out already! Oh well. I've been beating him off of trees for a couple of months. I shouldn't be surprised when he leaves one now. I see now if I can get him to be more accurate, then I'll have to work on his confidence next. Probably a long time before he should ever go back to a hunt.
