Wonderful foxes grace the country side of the Wiles meet. As the foxes cris-crossed the woods and wheat fields the hounds pressed on and ran for nearly two hours. Early into the first draw of the corn field the hounds picked up a line and ran through the corn and into the woods, crossed the rail road bed and went up through the vegetable farm where the fox was headed back towards the meet paralleling the Puseyville Rd and towards the bridge. The hounds followed the line through the corn field again and back into the woods by the dump and did the same loops again. Some where the foxes crossed paths and the hounds struck a line toward the Ram, and then they took a direct line back through the woods, this fox was much darker and was headed back in the direction of the meet. Another fox was viewed coming out of the woods near the meet almost head on to the hunted fox. Hounds struggled a bit to stay on the line as puppies didnt know which line to take. Drummer, Cyndy, Darla, and Dawn took the line back down to the creek and then the pack blasted one out of the park toward the Saw Mill, bending towards the Chicken House and ran hard until they put the fox to ground above the Chicken Houses. We hunted the hounds back to the meet and loaded up after a great day.

Wednesday meet was canceled due to rain.
