EMAIL FROM BOB HOWE, PINE GROVE LODGE

Hi Joe, nice to hear from you, glad the hare hunting is going well! I snowmobiled passed the Hutch cover (where he killed a double) today. It seems to be full of hares, I haven't had a dog in there for 3 years, so we'll have to check it out when you come up to Pine Grove again! The isle of bogs cover looks good too! I broke the trail out with the snowmobile so it could get hard and we can hunt it when you come. Regarding the trip after the last email, on Friday we saw 28 hare, 2 killed, on Saturday, they saw 14, no kills. It was very cold and windy both days, it was hard, we had to move into thick cover, 9 shots fired though, but these guys said the hare can outrun birdshot! Ran all pups today, cold, dry snow, the dogs struggled a bit. We are getting 4 inches of snow tonight and running the "A" team tomorrow. I'm heading out to Vermont for a show, Steve will be here hunting a party Friday and Saturday. We are expecting bitter cold and wind on Friday, but a little better on Saturday. My article in next months Outdoors Magazine is on scenting, hope you like it. See you soon!
