@Kendel Wynne very frustrating that’s for sure lol 

loved the story and the humor! The last photo.....priceless 😄😉👍🏻👍🏻

This can be a difficult time of the year to tree one. My hound will start treeing slick and doing other unusual stuff but I’ve found that once I give him a coon or two he settles back into his normal self again. 

My little rat terrier was barking treed so nice the other day and when I got there he had a big ole house cat. It was about the most perfect tree bark I’d ever heard haha!

@Neal Alexander haha yup my trash dogs tree one every once in awhile and typically sound good doing it 

hunting

Been out a couple times this week and haven’t had a lot of success. Monday night I had a meeting at my coon hunters club, so after that my friend Brian and I hunted close by. It was cold and the coon had moved early. Rio was useless on starting the track but joined Misty when it got a little warmer. They treed on a big den. Then last night I took Rio and my puppy Tippy. She is only 6 months old and this was her third trip to the woods. She stayed busy and out with Rio most of the night which I was happy about. Rio on the other hand looked horrible. First track he was struggling with putting a tree on the end of it and when he did it was slick. I pushed him off that and told him to find it and he went on and made another tree, once again slick. So we got out of that area and he ended up in a nice hardwood bottom that we tend to do well in. He ran the track, sounded good, treed and once again slick. At this point I was done. We were walking out when he struck, ran and treed. This time he had the meat, unfortunately the meat wasn’t a coon lol. I don’t really reward my dogs for treeing cats but it happens and we just move on.
