It was a cool night so I took Nitro to the vegetable garden.
As I was walking across the field he must have spotted something because he kept pulling. When I let him go, he ran off across the open instead of heading for the woods. I gave him a few warning tones & he swung around and headed for the woods.
He struck after a few minutes and ran a nice track. I could tell he was going trough thick brush along the ditch. He grubbed for a while & then located & treed hard. It wasn't a long walk to him but the brush made it seem that way. He was treed on a big tree on the ditch. It was a jungle & I could not find a coon. While I was circling the tree, about the 3rd time around, I spotted a possum up a couple trees over.
I don't think he was messing with the possum. It was low on the tree & looked to me like it climbed because it was caught in the crossfire. In fact it was low enough that I think Nitro might have been able to grab it if he tried hard enough.
Anyway, I searched for a while, gave up and went back to the truck.
Just another night that makes me wish the corn gets ripe soon.
