I have seen two "V's" of geese flying overhead this past weekend and this morning the first yellow leaves really can be seen in the treeline close to the house. Fall. The welcome coolness after summer's heat and humidity. We have started cubbing and had a terrific "view" yesterday. This fox was way ahead of hounds and stopped to stare back at us before darting into woods. Scenting must have been difficult because the hounds never really locked on, but they stayed on the line and twisted and circled in the corn with this wily fellow. The other whip had a couple of views as this fox just kept dodging thru the corn about 10 minutes ahead of hounds. We finally called off hounds when close to trailers after two hours and I am sure this fox just "stuck his tongue out at us" as he cruised past the last time. It is cool enough now in the morning that I am staying under the covers and watching sunrise from window. Signed up for the Virginia Field Hunter Championship which takes place in about two weeks. Get to hunt with Warrenton, Fairfax, Orange County and Old Dominion! Yeah. Hope to see some friends in the hunt fields and I love riding in Virginia.
