1-17-10 Hunt

It was a fun hunt, even if we did get smoked by the big boar. I guess if we won every time, it would not be near as much fun.

Crackerc,
Mike and I each ordered a handful of new leads last week. He had some that looked to be relics from the 1800's, that were still operable, so we went back to the same maker and got some new ones. His are all red, mine are all blue. Makes it real easy at the end of the hunt to know who each lead belongs to.

Cull Buck,
The dogs covered some ground for sure. At times the puppies are hunting out further than I would care for. Yesterday my Ruby pup, and Mike's Striker pup were out between 1.3 to 1.5 miles and when I checked Ruby's collar after the hunt it showed a hair over 31 miles for the day, though she did ride the buggy the last couple of miles.
