Glad to see this is really coming about Tim! I'll get this URL and a posting put up on MPHC's website. Sounds like something fun, new, and different!

Ya I've been getting alot of good feed back from people and i think we'll have a good turn out.

What a fun weekend. I was not able to get up there till Saturday but it was fun. It was great to see some old faces and meet some new people. Tim and I had the big hounds with us but I got to hear some great rabbit races and see some nice rabbits. I loved learning more about the beagles and how they work in the big woods on the snow shoes.

Thank you to every one that came and made it so much fun. I'm sorry I did not get more pictures as I came a day late.

I sure wish I could make the Pursuit hunt this coming weekend. I wish every one the best of luck…

Looks like a good time. Thanks for posting pix, that's always cool for we who didn't come.

For sure going to do it again next year at the same place
