Call Me Boone

I'm about to take my English final so I only have a minute. My last final is tonight, that would be CAD. After today, I'm a free man, until Mon. when I start working. Call me Boone, Daniel Boone. Monday night at around 9:00 that little dog we got started barking in the back yard. I went out there and I didn't see anything, but I knew there was something out there. I went to my room and got my .22 rifle. The dog was looking up the tree; he had treed a raccoon. I had Amy get a flashlight, and I found the 'coon in the tree. Amanda came out and spotlighted her (It was a female coon) for me and I shot it right in the face, perfect shot. I shouted to Amanda, "Run!" We were standing almost directly under it and it was going to fall, and I didn't know if it would be wounded and angry and try to tear our legs off. But, she just fell and that was it. Next step, skinning. It took over an hour, but I got a decent fur off it. I was real proud of Amanda staying out there and helping me cut into it and pull its skin off, not many girls can handle that. It's on a board now drying out. - Josh
