For years from afar we have enjoyed Jim’s hunt recaps & will post one from Oct 2, 2016.
Subject: Today’s Hunting. From: James Scharnberg.
“We had a good hunt this morning with a 4 couple at Marsh Creek to check it out for the opening meet next Sunday. Hounds worked a short running rabbit to ground at the west side of the oval, then after we got Yarrow back from the end, hounds drew up to the east corner where Quarry and Uwchlan drove the second out at the trail head. It dodged around Jonathan Wiedorn and got in on the outside edge where they worked it along inside the hedgerow to ground. Uwchlan got up another that looped back and forth toward the north end and back. Yarrow then pushed one out into the trail and accounted for it in the east edge. We then drew the outside back to the long center hedgerow, and hounds worked it up to the east end, speaking a couple of times in the heavy briar, but could get nothing out for a run. The far crossing hedgerow was blank, so we drew back down the center line to go in. Salsa and Yarrow worked the inside all the way, with the rest working in and out, then we collected hounds and went back to the trailer for kennel cleanup. The pack worked well and came quickly to cry as fresh lines were found. It was a very good hunting morning, and staff coverage was great.”
