Finally a cool night so I headed down to the river. I went to thte field beyond the dam first. I saw two skunks on the way. He struck right away & headed into the woods. I saw eyes on the ground as I walked the edge. He struggled for a long tine then settled on a tree. It was a jungle & I could hardly even walk around the tree to shine. I didn't see a coon & I had the feeling he missed. I walked him back to the truck. A coon was up right by the truck & I just put him on that tree. Next to the gun club. He hunted out nice and struck on the swamp side. He ran all the way to the back by the road & then treed. He sounded a little confused. When I got there it was a big leaning bowed tree that went into yet another big leaning bow that went into a 3rd big tree. I could see why he was confused, but he had the coon. A big corn fed fellow. That was enough for one night.
