Well here it goes,
A few years back my old huntin partner and me treed a coon just off the road. It was raining like a cow pissin on a flat rock. It was an easy walk to the tree and we spotted the coon right off the bat, so I tell keith go ahead and shoot it out and he starts loading his 22. well he takes a good aim and pulls the trigger, well unknown at that time but our ammo was soaked and 22. ammo isnt watter proof. so the first shot comes out like a bottle rocket the bullet wisses away and we see the unburnt powder leave the berral and then ignite that was cool lookin but not what we were tyring to do, after about the six shot or so and no better results we were about to leash up and go back to the truck and that old sow coon decided to jump out of the tree, this is where it gets fun so the coon takes off and crosses the road and sounds like it tree's again. We were on a river bottom and now were on a muddy steep hill. Well on our way up to the tree my old buletick boon sounds muffled and then is gone, Hmmm thats never good so we get up there close and can hear old boon but cant see him. we get over to an old growth stump and its all hollowed out and boon is down inside it. remember its raining so hard it hurts the eyes to look up. Well now we have boon and he in under ground by at least six feet s. So I had to get that old dog out of there and the only thing to do was climb down inside and take a look.Once inside I was way over my head andI'm 6'5" tall,There wasnt as much room as I first had thought and as sooon as I could I pushed boone out to keith, well this old den was deep and as soon as boon was out of the way I could see the coon lookin me in the eye, I hollered at kieth to hand down the 22. I figured old boon earned this one and at very close range was able to put this coon out with one shot, and I was uncertain if one of out wet ammo shots had conected on this animal and wasnt going to let it suffer if a shot had connected.
