Woke up this morning with the intent of going out but on e I saw the temps/wind chill I stayed in finished up laundry did some dishes little light housekeeping let the wife sleep in.....
About 11 I look at the temps again and said hell with it I'm going....
Got dressed and grabbed my gear kissed he wife on off I went.... Picked up the hounds who were really slow too come out of the box ( I think Sara actually flipped me off!!!!) hahaha!!!!! Got the collars and bells on them and into the new dog box Don (Ricer) made me and off we went....
First stop there was a vehicle parked there I didn't recognize so I figured someone had a kid out deer hunting so I went up the road a quarter mile too an adjoining property but it's much smaller in size..... Backed he truck up too the barn dropped the tailgate on off we went..... There's two sections with an open area between them, hit the front section but missed the corner and we have 3" of snow on the ground it was fairly open and I could see in it pretty good and the hounds wanted too go too the back so who am I too argue lol....
Worked the back and had one run that lasted a half hour and they brought it around 2.5 times and either lost it or it holed up.... Worked the rest of the back section and had nothing else moving.... Did bump a doe who high tailed it into another wood lot which about ten minutes later I heard a 3 shot volley....
Spent about another hour in there letting the pups work it up real good.... Nothing else going, so we headed too the truck and when we got back out front I looked at that corner we missed and said what the heck.... Went into it and they were off too the races lol.... For the next hour and fifteen minutes they ran that little bugger ragged lol.... Passed on him twice so the dogs could get the practice and the third time it stopped 30 yards from me next too a tree before the open area and just sat there catching its breath.... The pups struggled for about five minutes on it and the when they got close too it off it went again..... It came around one more time and then headed for the hillside with all the holes in it and that was that lol.... Called them back and off too the truck we went....
All in all a pretty good afternoon, two runs one really good one and the both got exercise and lots of fresh cold air lol....
Oh and texted Dante off and on about something he came across that I'll let him post about..... Didn't miss anything football wise and the wife had a big lot of stew in the crockpot when I got home!!!! Great afternoon/evening lol....
