GREETINGS FROM THE HIGH PLATEAU


TALLY HO!!
TO: ALL BIG WOODS HARE HUNTERS OF THE ALLEGHENY
FROM: THE OFFICE OF THE HIGH HARE MAN
GREETINGS: Yesterday, Saturday November 22, 2008, "Old" Jim Hanson and I ventured onto the High Plateau of The Allegheny in search of the elusive Snowshoe Hare of the North.
The weather was not on our side. Heavy snow squalls and heavy accumulation of the white, fluffy stuff must have kept most game animals holed up.
The snow depth on the High Plateau is unofficially knee deep. A little deep for the beagles.
The picture above was taken while traversing a logging road in the Allegheny National Forest. The light snow did not impare travel with four wheel drive.
This is the earlyest on set of winter I can remember. At least for a long time. It may be a long winter.
Fraternally In Beagling and Snowshoe Hare Hunting,
Joe
