Crap !
Had one hell of a ruckus fire up just before dawn's first light, today.
Gracey had treed a big Sow Coon, and about the time I wandered up with a .22 and a flashlight was inspired to climb the damn tree and grab hold of the bugger.
Bad Mistake, Gracey
I think this is the first time she's ever been "Bested" in a fight, and she's been moping around about it all day.
I just gave her a really good going over, there are no deep wounds, or lacerations,....and I'd say the only real hurt was to her pride.
Had a very frustrating time with the final dispatch of the little villain,....thick, thorny brush, an over-long (and too light caliber) rifle,...
Gracey pretty much had to do it on her own.
