Took Roy to the vegetable garden. So nice and cool this week, how could I stay home? He hunted out and struck in the north woods. It didn't sound that good. He treed but not that nice "I've got him" sound. When I got close to him he came of the tree. He wouldn't go back & I never was sure which tree he was actually on. He was very scared & wouldn't leave my side. I really suspect it was slick because of the way he acted on the other tree earlier this week. So I think he knows when a tree is slick, but he doesn't know what to do. Somehow I think if I could just show him once or twice, he'd try to be good. Anyway, I can't hunt him in the thick leaves like this. He'll just have to sit for a while. I'll try him on the river in August. He's lucky I like him enough to work with him, although he probably thinks he can do without luck like this.
