No sight of our red furry friend but we had a very enjoyable day!
Melissa and Sara Garland did an excellent job leading the field and navigating the meet with all of their younger field members that included children from Pony Club and 4-H.
Hunting was a bit tame considering the flat our gallops that we had yesterday at Funnel Lake. Hounds were hit and miss on a few lines, and circled around a lot of holes. Its rather promising to see that the vixens are sticking to their dens preparing to have pups soon!
Holy View will definitely make good fox viewing... maybe I can get out there with my camera once the pups start exploring life outside the den!
Monday looks like rain - I doubt we will be out hunting.
Cheers!
