Where the Red Fern Grows???

Is there a better way to spend fat tuesday, than running through thickets along the Yellowstone River chasing hounds, who in turn were chasing raccoons? (If you answered yes: trading cheap plastic beads for a glimpse of some female naughty bits, you may have a point.) Regardless, I couldn't turn down an offer from my buddy Gillvray, to head out to some state land near Pompey's Pillar and scare up some coons. After chasing the dogs in circle for over an hour we finally treed two (unfortunately they were way to high in cottonwoods to get a good picture)... Only in eastern Montana... Or backwoods Kentucky.
