The Boy’s “First Run of the Season:”
Today I took my four older males, Cowboy, Rascal, Rover and Pete for their first hunt of the new season. I also had Snoopy along for his first ever trip to the swamp.
The briers were green, sharp and in abundance:
The banana spiders are out in full force this early in the season. They will not hurt you, but they will make you hurt yourself.
My boys did a good bit of bumping around with mouthy Mr. Pete making most of the noise. They did manage to jump and run two bunnies but the runs were short.
My fine 3 year old hound, “Rover” is looking fit and ready. Two years ago this week he was lost in this swamp for a long 13 days. He no doubt ate his share of craw-fish, dead birds, squirrels and guts left behind after a hunt. He lost about 8 pounds while he was out and came back a sack of skin and bones with tons of ticks attached. It took months for him to recover but just look at him now.
Here are some short video clips from today’s hunt. Turn up the volume and click below to here my hounds trying to make it happen.
