one cold brisk dark december night my grandpa and i decided to take our coondog ,ole jake, out coonhunting. it was a real slow night at first hed strike and track for about 15 minutes each trail but itd be slow goin. my grandpa gave up for the night so i said id take jake home when we got done in a few hours. finally about a half hour after that he just lit up when he got by this one pond and i mean he was goin 50 mile an hour on that trail and he finally treed about 80 yards from where he struck in this big ole rotten cottonwood. this thing we were sure was hollow but we looked up and we saw these 2 big ole sow coons. i get my 22. up and i shoot both coons out at the same time.. big mistake.. because jake was tough but he wasnt THAT tough.. those coons came crashin down and he smacked into both of them for the fight of his entire life. the bigger sow he got to first and he was workin her over but then the other came to after she hit and got on his back and just started tearin him up, he let go of the bigger one and tried fightin the small one off but the big one got under him and latched onto his neck and just clawed and bit the [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] out of him and im fearin for my buddies life so i got the gun up and was gonna shoot the big one off but i didnt have a clear shot so i just had to wait until i had the chance.. the shot never came so i finally got fed up of watchin my dog get the [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] beat out of him so i go over with the butt of my 22. and just swing away at that big coon(by this time she was more off to the side so i could golf swing) well i hit her square in the face and she goes tumblin and jake gets his footing and starts workin over the small one good.. shed be done in about 15 seconds. well why hes workin the little one over that big one comes to and boy was she maddd. shes comin at me so fast i hardly had time to think all the experience in me screamed "GET YOUR GUN UP NOW!!!" so i did and i pulled the trigger.. click... i tried to reload but the bolt was jammed probably from hitting the sow or somethin idk really. so im backin up and reachin for my knife which i remembered when i couldnt find it that i left it at the house.. so im backin up and backin up but that coons gainin on me and shes still really [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] off. i wasnt watchin where i was goin and i tripped over a fallen limb from this old rotten cottonwood and so im on my back and this 25 pound angry sow coon is comin at my teeth and claw in all and i scream for my dog who was just finishing the little coon and he comes running, just as that coon started tearin at my coveralls jake comes to my rescue and jumps on that sows back and bites down on her throat as hard as he could and that was the end of it.. that coon woulda tore me up like no other and i owed a lot to that dog.. a few years later ole jake died of cancer and it still brings a tear to my eye to tell this story.. but if i know one thing for sure it that me and that dog had something special from the moment we saw eachother.. i saved him from traps and bobcats for a long time ever since he was learning and he returned the favor that night and ill always remember what he did for me...
