And to think I thought all is time we were hunting with Pen-Marydels... when I called MFH Jimmy to see if we were hunting this morning, I was informed that we are now hunting the 'Arctic Short Hair' an almost distinct breed that was used centuries ago to hunt the Arctic Fox. Of course! Thats what we have... no other hunt group would venture out to hunt under these temperatures unless equip with these 'Arctic Short Hairs'.....
We bundled up and had a fun morning hunting. Today the real dedication showed from a few of our members who managed to shovel out of their drive ways, clear off their trucks and trailers and come out!
We were dressed in our Sunday best as you can see, but there were no complaints about the coooold temperatures. The hounds were more than happy to be out and enjoyed the romp around the Red Pump Meet.
The foxes were out, but the scent was not much good today. Hounds worked hard and took a few good runs. We were definitely happy to get out, looks like some bad weather ahead!
