Seever called & had some new hot spots. He also said there was damage dwon by the parking lot end of the river. I started there & sent Nitro west from the gate. He swung behind me and started a track way in the woods. He was trailing along the ditch towards the creek and I didn't want to go in there so I called him and then gave him a warning tone. He circled instead of coming to me and I gave him a mild shock. I was tracking him and giving him warning tones but he wouldn't come. It finally dawned on me that he was going to the truck. He looked pretty bummed when I got there. Sorry big guy. I took him past the dam and sent him in next. He struck in a few seconds and was runniing back into the woods. He laid into a tree and had a coon. I took him to the gun club and he ran a hot one there. He didn't tree quite as hard, I think he was still a little hot from the last track. I went to the new hot spot and walked the edge a little, then I went back and brought Nitro. I let him loose a little ways from the road and he struck right away. He went down the valley & I didn't want to go there so I called him out. He came right away. I walked the edge a little more and cut him again. He went about 15 feet and struck hot. He went another 10 feet located and treed hard. He had a coon. That was enough for one night. We're both tired today.
