n Taylorsville, NC. Willis reports as follows:

“Man what a beautiful night! Recent rains held the pollen at bay and 56 degree temperatures made for one of the best nights of hunting yet. We are finally getting our normal North Carolina, April weather. We just had to wait until May to see it. Eight dogs and handlers hit the woods, wondering if a light jacket or long sleeve shirt would be enough. Evidently the
coons were enjoying too, as one cast saw 7 coons, scoring on 4 in the monthly Brushy Creek Coon hunt.”

Bigtime Rockin’ Rowdy, 550+
