Took Nitro up to the farm & picked up the kids. We went north to Travis's house & sent Nitro and Ruby along the edge of the woods. Nitro opened and was running a track well. In fact he was running a little too well. I gave him a warning tone as he was swinging out deep. He was quiet for a minute & then was opening again. I thought about hitting him again but then he slammed a tree. It was a long walk. I hit some water & told the kids to wait for me. When I got to Nitro, Pearl was there too & they had a coon. It was a samll coon & I know that it didn't run all this way. Actually this was a pretty nice job of switching over. Just like Mable would have done. We put Nitro up and let Pearl hunt around the edge of the corn. She found a couple coons that one of the boys had shot earlier in the day. One was still alive & it kind of confused Pearl. She wouldn't leave it but didn't know quite what to do. By the time we got done there it was 11:30. Called it a night.
