FROM THE WORLD HEADQUARTERS OF THE BIG WOODS HARE HUNTERS OF THE ALLEGHENY
TO: All Members of the Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny
FROM: High HareMan
SUBJECT: Tuesday, February 19th Hare Hunt
GREETINGS: Yesterday, Tuesday, February 19th, 2019 was a great day to be on the High Plateau of the Allegheny.
As the hounds were released the temperature stood at a very balmy +17 degrees with sunny skies. A fresh coating of snow covered the landscape at one of our all time favorite covers. A feeling of a anticipation was in the air.
The six beagles struck a hot track immediately and the chase was on for the next four hours non-stop. The hounds and the hare ran far and wide. The beagles logged 8 to 9 miles of running with Kipper logging over 11 miles on his electronics. At one point the hare ran more than 0.6 miles (1000 yards) into the big woods with the hounds never letting up their quest.
When the curfew was announced the hare was sighted and the beagles were intercepted and retrieved.
It was a great and beautiful day with an outstanding performance from the hounds. (Kipper, Sheeba, Sammie, Hollie, Aero and Sidney)
