LOOKING AHEAD TO SEASON

The hounds are getting ready for the 2010-2011 season.
It has been a long, hot, endless summer, but all the while looking forward, with a longing heart, towards the magnificent Autumn season and beyond. A magnificent winter on the High Plateau of the Allegheny is anticipated.
Hound training started in earnest at the end of August missing only a few days in August and into October.
Cottontail rabbit season opened on October 24th and Snowshoe Hare season will open on December 26th for six glorious days.
Anyone wanting to join us is more than welcome.
Snowshoe Hare season will be the same as last season. If someone wants to kill a hare for a mounted trophy we might, after a thorough back ground check, be able to accommodate.
The "one hour rule" will of course be enforced. The "one miss" rule will also be enforced, along with the "two hour time limit".
So there you have it.
Check back often as this blog will be updated often during the Snowshoe Hare Season and the Extreme Season from the High Plateau.
Fraternally In Hare Hunting,

HARE SEASON STARTS EARLY

TO: ALL BIG WOODS HARE HUNTERS OF THE ALLEGHENY
FROM: THE HIGH HARE MAN OF THE ALLEGHENY
Greetings,
The "Hare chasing" season has commenced with "Old" Jim, Brenda and I venturing into the big woods in search of the magnificent Snowshoe Hare. As luck would have it, on Monday, Brenda enjoyed her first opportunity ever to witness a Hare in the wild.
The Hare are in their autumn splender with ears turning to white and feet growing white hair from which they get their name "Snowshoe".
The hounds chased the Hare for some three and a half hours. Jim and I saw the Hare five or six different times during the chases. We will be venturing onto the High Plateau often now as the bug has got our interest to a peek.
Has you probably have guessed we did not take our annual trip to Maine this fall.
