Is anyone from the board running big females on friday at Wurtland? What kind of running grounds do they have and are there a lot of rabbits there?

Last fall 2 dogs went off the cliff near the road. It is about 50' at the top. I would suggest a handler or 2 stand on top in front of the cliff to prevent the dogs from going off. These rabbits run the edge to loose predators. One dog, maybe mine, went off the cliff from the highest point and tumbled and hit like a pancake at the bottom. By the time the handlers got there all dogs were back on top of the cliff. I understand there is a 150' cliff on the back side that killed an entire pack a few years back. All I'm saying is be careful and know where the cliffs are.
