This is someone else's hunt and photo but it was about this hot this morning for our first cub hunt of the season. I viewed a nice red in the second bean field chasing mice and Jason viewed another slipping into the beans a bit later, but it was so dry that the runs were short. Another red popped out right in front of the field and ran for the river in front of Billingsley. Here the hound music was sweet and they did their best to push him back towards us. However the scenting seemed to disappear in the woods and as soon as they left the dew on the beans the fox slipped away. By 8:30 it was hot, humid and dry and the hounds tongues were lolling. It was a perfect first cub hunt of the season. We roaded home, rinsed off sweaty horses and reached for the water bottles.
