We had an excellent time on Drummond again this year. The hare population is still good and there were plenty to run but they were hard to kill this early in the season. We were there the 1st week of Oct. and it was unseasonably warm (70's) and very dry, the runs were excellent in the mornings and a little rougher in the afternoons, but it was alot of fun as usual. At one point our dogs and Charles' dogs (srpatch) got together on a run and it was a lovely sound to hear 12 patch hounds pounding a hare!! My brother-in-law shot that one and the dogs were about 5 seconds behind it! I got some good video that I'll try to post at some point.

The dogs in full pursuit of the above hare


Our little dog handlers-they joined us for a few short hunts



Our Gunner dog didn't make the trip this year for the 1st time, he hadn't fully recovered from the 10 days he was missing. But, he was still there through his pups. He sired all of the dogs in this picture (Lake Huron in the background)

Awesome pics, makes he really wish that I still lived in MI.

Congrats on your hunt, the memories will last a lifetime.

Those are some nice pictures.......Looks like alot of fun.

Great looking bunch of patch hounds.

Thanks for posting the pics and info about your trip. I spent many weeks camping and fishing in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada most of my upbringing and parts of my adult life. I can almost smell and feel the lake in those pics. Lots of great memories.

dam it's hard seeing a picture of taz..........

looks like yall had a good time..however some of them dogs had to much color on them lol..

I will be right behind you! Leaving on Thurs. Hope you left us some. I hav e been watching the forcast hoping for some cool weather. Don,t care to kill to many we just like to get away and enjoy the trip and good food and fellowship. Taking my son, it's his first trip up. I can't wait to spend some good time with him. Time goes so fast! you know what I mean. Frenchman

Also leaving for Drummond Thursday will be my 11th year. Took 10 days in June and did some fishing was slow but better than work. My 8 year old caught a 5lb smally that was well worth it.

nice pics

Great pics, I'm leaving for the Island in 10 days,I can't wait!! I've going up there for 40 years an and the feeling never changes.

Awesome pictures and very nice Patch hounds

looks like yall had a good time..however some of them dogs had to much color on them lol..

LOL!! All of those tri-color hounds are 1/2 Patch. They're dams were lemon/white and their sire was tri-color, it's pretty obvious which color was dominant.

Good luck to everyone that's heading up, we're thinking about making another trip in December.

Great Pictures. Thanks for sharing them. I can't wait to make
another trip up there. What a great place. Looks like all of you
had a great time. Great looking group of patch hounds.

Stacy, you have some fine hounds and a great family, enjoyed our time afield together.
You are fantastic with that camera, how you caught that hare inflight was amazing. Glad we didn't break up the works when we got in the way...
See you in Dec...

Nice pics, I can't wait to get back to WI again this fall!!!
