Took Nitro to the vegetable garden. He was pulling hard right by the truck so I let him go. He went about 15 yards and treed. He climbed up the tree pretty high. I called him and he came down. We were right in the open close to all the houses so I just caught him and moved. I only flashed the tree & didn't see eyes but by the way he acted I assumed it was up there.
Over by Don Edens daughters place I walked him in a ways and cut him again. He opened after about 10 minutes on an old track. He grubbed east and then north. It sounded like he was catching up for a while but then the track seemed to get bad. I drove to the north approach and walked in n him. He was grubbing in the woods behind the house & I just caught him. The route he took has been about 50/50 for me over the years. It's rough and wet plus it's the way trash tends to run. This track sounded like the rough wet type, not trash.
It's so wet I think I'll take Saturday night off & hope things dry out a little.
