Heavy fog and too many curs

...made for a frustrating morning !  We waited until 9:35 to turn out, with heavy fog still in the area.  Hounds were cast into the woods on the west side of Foxhunters' rd but within minutes some hounds opened behind us at the road.   I got to them first, and saw 2 of mine and several of Tommy's and Freddy's trail across the road to the east side.  The other hounds harked, and by 9:50,we had our fox on the run.

Charles ran the east side of the road for about 10minutes, then crossed back over to the clubhouse side, but not before being turned by a fork-lift truck  that was busy moving trees in the field  ( yeah- on a Saturday morning in heavy fog. sheesh) .Mr.Fred and I viewed the fox  cross the road , but I jerked the camera and missed getting him!  Charles crossed behind 3 deer-which you can see on the video.  All hounds were on the fox, and a nice chase commenced  that was to be ruined  only 1/2 hour later when our pilot was again turned - TWICE-by 3 cur dogs trying to hark to our pack..   By the time we got our hounds sorted from the other groups hounds, it was warming up quickly. We opted to quit , since we will hunt again tomorrow.

I went home and spent a fun  afternoon with a redhead. ;-)
