FROM THE
BIG WOODS HARE HUNTERS OF THE ALLEGHENY
A DAY ON THE ALLEGHENY
A TALLY HO! and GREETINGS TO ALL.
Yesterday, Wednesday, March 21, 2018, the first full day of spring, brought the invasion of the DuBois Brigade of the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny to the Allegheny.
Mentor to the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny, Jim Taylor, along with veteran hare hunters, Jim Jeffers and Marty Rhin joined Captain Kaz and Barbara along with the High HareMan on the high plateau for a day of hare watching.
Although, we managed to get two (2) hares up and one (1) "Tally Ho!" by the Captain, it was not the day we had hoped.
The fresh snows of the "nor'easter" which blew through to our south missed the big woods entirely. We were wishing for some fresh tracking snow which did not prevail.
The snow was old and crusty which made for some poor scenting conditions which hampered both the young hounds and the more veteran.
Speaking of veterans which numbered three (3) from DuBois honored the three regular members who joined them on the high plateau.
A great day and a great visit was enjoyed by all.
The High HareMan will be looking forward to many more days like yesterday.
