k9delboy 138 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 There was approx 300 people turned up for meet which was excellent as we were not to hunt due to severe frost. Luckily with me doin terriers for them every week, i know the huntsman better than anyone and i had a sneaky suspicion that he would accidently let the hounds drop into a lovely whin bank on the hack back to kennels. As soon as he blew for home from the village car park, i shot around to the kennels to watch them coming in. As hounds approached the whin bank, WHAM. They started screaming and they were going hell for leather. I think it is the voice of these beasts in action that got me started following them almost 25 years ago. It makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. The pack split on a brace and ran full cry past me and into a small wood where charlie dropped into a nice wee hole that i could view from where i was. Other half hunted for about 10 mins then lost him and then huntsman blew to gather them up before calling it a day as the ground was far too hard for horses and hounds. I was dressed up to the nines for the meet instead of the usual camo, terriers and quad bike so we gave reynard best for now. Handy hole to know about in the future. Also had a mate down from Arbroath to his first ever meet. Whilst standing at the edge of the kennels watching these hounds he commented, "wouldn't it be great if you could call of thirty odd Terriers from cover as easily as your huntsman does with a wee toot from his horn". If only eh?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
