Took Nitro to the vegetable garden & sent him north. He seemed a little lazy tonight. He finally opned after about 10 minutes and grubbed an old track. He worked it for about 10 minutes and seemed to be struggling. He picked a tree, located good and turned it over. He was chopping hard when I arrived. It was a den tree but for some reason I don't think the coon was there. I didn't pet him or scold him, just moved.
Gene checked me at the approach, wanted to make sure who was hunting in his dad's section.
I went to Don Eden's section and sent Nitro along the edge. He took a right into the woods and poked around in the potholes there for about 15 minutes. When he came back out and started back dwon the edge I just caught him.
One of those nights when the air just didn't feel very good.
I figured I'd cut my losses and try another night.
