Dale & his friend met me up at the farm to hunt with the kids. We sent Roy and Pearl south into the corn. Roy opened and ran a track to the west. It was junk. He's run that same track about 4 times now. I could probably just shock him if he opens in that section. Anyway, I gave both the dogs a warning tone. I drove around with Charlie while the rest of the kids waited for Dale. Pearl was treed. We walked around the swamp 'cause I thought she was on the other side. Turned out she was in the middle. When we finally got to her she had two up a little tree. She could see them & was treeing hard. We got out of the swamp and could hear Roy treed. Dale drove up a road to him and he quit treeing. Too bad, he still hasn't quite recovered from being shocked off of slick trees. He's been staying when I walk into him but the combination of a warning tone earlier and the truck lights must have been too much for him. Still a long road to recovery for Roy. Anyway, the kids were sure proud of Pearl. She did a nice job.
