Nov. 17, 07 - openning day. We had two parties to guide. Both parties had 3 guest each. Each party had youths, and also hunters that have not bagged a deer. Our plan was to work the hounds like we always do … place the hunters in locations that the deer will travel when the hounds give chase, and let the rest be in the hands of the hunters. Morning hunt moved plenty of deer, all does, but our Guest enjoyed the music of beagles giving chase and seeing plenty of does. After lunch, we moved to another farm, placing our Guest on stands. Working small packs of hounds we jumped deer all afternoon. Before the day was done … we had a “trophy 8 pointer” harvested by a Guest of one party, and a mature spike buck harvested by a young hunter who took his first deer today, from the other party. This young hunter had his 15th birthday last week, and this hunt was his birthday present. Great hunt!!!! -pictures to follow-
