We were way behind a fox and it took us a good hour to get closer and closer so that we could really run him. It was pretty funny the different circles the fox took us and the different logs he took the hounds over and along the river banks and through the corn.

After a long run the night before the hounds really poved they had what it took to keep going and focused on hunting since we were trailing so far behind. Their hard work paid off and we went out with a bang, (not literally) we just ended up good and took them to the river for a swim.

Nice way to start the weekend.

Next Meet: MONDAY - Hogs Run at 7:30am
