Just wanted to see if everyone is experiencing the same problem as we have in the chase season. As for bear, we have been striking good tracks and the dogs have been treeing but if it takes longer than an hour to get to the tree the bear will come down. I think it is a combination of the heat and the dry conditions. As for coon, with the dry conditions my dogs have a hard time with a track once it gets away from the creek. Acorns in unusual abundance.
Rubs are few and far between, even in normally well rubbed areas.
Deer sightings in the woods and at night on the road side are high. Spots are off of fawns. Woods are approaching dangerous level. Logan was aboard the Vega, a boat skippered by Joseph Peirson of Cheriton. He was using squid bait on a bottom rig.
