The curse continues

It seems all hunters have a nemesis and it seems that Vanessa's is the cougar. We found a huge tom track just after first light this morning. It was fairly old and was right on top of a track from a female and kitten but it was the only track we had so we started Hemi on it and after a bit he seemed to get it worked out so we kicked Rebel into the race. The track took them on a wild chase over 3,000 feet up a mountain and then off the end of it where they finally started barking tree. It was a bit of a hairy trip into the tree across the face of the mountain but we made it only to find the female and two very large kittens. The dogs must have crossed their fresher tracks along the way. One more morning to hunt. Perhaps year three is not the charm.........
