What a day! What a fun day too! We started off around the backside of Gibsons and around towards Ankrum's Bone Woods and then across toward the Old House. The hounds were hot and cold all the way towards the Old House and then hit pretty strong as they crossed the road by the Old Tires and took it pretty good along the big bank and woods towards the Duck Pond.


Somewhere in the woods they hit super strong and they were off. 41 hounds just riping through the woods up towards the park, cross the stream and into the Mule Fields. They made several small loops and several big loops and moved a few 'not the hunted' foxes which we viewed. Its good to know the woods are healthy with foxes!

The hounds took us to Scalpy Hollow Rd where we thought we might have to pull them up, but they went along the back side of there fields and took our last run all the way back to the Mill. They hit a miss so we picked everyone up and went across the Furness Rd back to the meet.

It was a great day of hunting, following and listening to hounds.



Next Meet: Herr's Stone Lane on Wednesday at 8:30am
