Lots of unplanned work travel and a couple illnesses put me out of most of this fur season, but at least I'm getting on the board.

Took the boy out for his first coon hunt last night (he's 2 1/2yoa), he got a little cranky by the end of the night, but he had a lot of fun tromping through the creek and watching the dogs work. All he's been talking about today is finding more "toons."

The boy was a lot more interested in checking out the coons than being photogenic. 2 dropped with my Ruger Mark II stainless, one by my bro-in-law with his Mark III, treed up by his Treeing Walker Hound. The 3rd one we got his 6mo old bluetick b!tch out and let her do a little apprenticing.
