4 years ago I had a good bluetick that hunted out my back door every night, sometimes with me and sometimes by himself. Every night he would be treed somewhere in the couple hundred acres. I am sure he was on a first name basis with those coons, just like the sheep dog and wiley coyote. LOL He has passed away since. As of a little over a year ago I started working with some other dogs. I can't hardly find coon in the same woods. Every now and then but not like I could with that blue dog. I have been traveling around now to find coon.
