Well, the rain dances paid off, there was a good bit of moisture on the ground and it was what we needed to keep the scent going a bit stronger and giving the hounds the opportunity to run longer.
We started off behind the meet heading toward Fern Glen Rd, wrapped around to the Murder House and then up toward the streams between Gibson's and Ankrum's. From here the hounds took up along the flat toward the stone pile, and then up behind the old house and the spring. In the midst of the run, Hoppy saw the fox come out of the covert, then a family of turkeys right behind the fox and then a couple deer.. what a sight! Luckily the hounds and the puppies were able to remember their breeding and continue on. From the old house we went up toward the tank and then around to to bone woods.
Next Meet: Wednesday at Red Pump at 8:00am
Friday at Fox Mill at 5:00pm
Saturday at Down Patrick at 9:00am
