Hunt reports and other miscellaneous ramblings that heretofore were laid down between leather bindings. Now, maybe someone else will get a laugh or two out of reading them.

Hunt #40 for my hounds - A fox that ran the open in the WIND!
Charles James
Look to the far left- that's Marilyn getting it figured out!!!!
38 degrees at the 8am draw. Winds were forecast to be steady at 25-30mph with gusts up to 50 mph - and the weatherman wasnt lying!
12 1/2 couple of hounds (my puppy, Reilly is out of heat finally!!) found their fox at 8:05 in the woods north of High Stump road. This red tried all morning to slip the hounds by running in the open- downwind, upwind, every which way he could! After 2 1/2 hours of some impressive hound work, our fox finally resorted to enlisting the aid of a second fox at 10:30. Perhaps a tag-team manuever had been the foxs' intention. Instead, the pack got busted up and the chase came to a halt in almost the exact same area where Charles had been roused. You can't tell me these foxes don't enjoy this! We rounded them up ( Lily and Marney decided to hang out in the woods for awhile, lol!) and called it a day.
