Once when racoon hunting a shot with a .22 brought the racoon out of the tree into a creek. The most
stupid of the hunting dogs jumped in after it. The racoon damn near killed the dog, which quickly
gave up and came back to our side of the creek. The racoon swam to the other side and escaped in the
bushes. This was about 2:00 AM, so we weren't able to see it or follow it.

It didn't seem to be hurt too badly.

And why were you hunting raccoons?

Probably for the same reason you write ad copy.
The pelts are/were worth money.

Exactly. Back then, early 60's, it was very worthwhile to stay out all night to get two or three
racoons. The guy I went hunting with lived on his dad's farm, had about 25 dogs, Blue Tick, Red
Bone, Black and Tan, and others, and that's one of the ways he made some money. We were in high
school then.

We're about the same age. When I was in high school, I got afterschool
and Saturday jobs for pocket money that didn't involve shooting
critters. Weren't you employable?
