with this dry weather been hard to have any good runnin' here lately in southern KY, but this morning me and 'NO JUMP' John Meredith had some killer runnin at a place we go that corners up to Mammoth Cave Park....been awful dry round here and scenting has been bad....this place stays wet all the time so we thought we would give it a try bout daylight this morning and it worked out....If it dont rain before this weekend gonna be rough on these hounds this weekend at KY ST....just wondering how everyone elses runnin has been as of late??????

it was a little choppy this past weekend cause its so dry. but we got rain a coming. this weekend should be much better.

Well I guess i should have took my dress off this Morning and went out with you all.
But i guess when you run with those WFO dogs and those OTTER RIDGE dogs you can alway except good running LOL

We have had below freezing at night and near 50 in the middle of the day.
So we take a late start and hunt on really old snow but the dogs have done well.

Ran at a place Sat. that's had the timber flooded half the winter.Water was out of it but there was a bunch of rotten ice left.Dogs ran great until the rabbits hit this place and then they would lose them.Ran a different place and type of area Sunday.This was a WA that they have been working on the habitat,such as feather edging and creating weed patches.They dogs ran the first rabbit over an hour and came close to catching it when they forced it out into the open.Ran second rabbit almost as long before it finally took to a hole.The first place is one of my faverites to run as I haven't ever had to worry about ticks there.Just need for them to drain it some more and the last of that rotten ice to leave.

Matt it sure has been rough on the dogs last 3 or 4 days.Leaving out here in a few minutes to give it another try. good luck this weekend at ky state. Wont be going headed to a softball tourney in cinci later Dale

It hasnt been the best, but I had some good running tonight.

We just got rid of two feet of snow and up until yesterday hadnt ran in over a month! So I would take dry conditions over no conditions any day. We got out, the dogs jumped five in two hours, circled four but they were rusty, kinda looked like a blooper film on rabbit huntin. They got the job done it just wasnt pretty. It will only get better from here on in I hope. Good runnin to all of you! May you all have a great year of hammerin!

Ill take the dry over the snow anyday...I'm just ready to listen to some of that WFO runnin...weather startin to cooperate now tho...it rained last nite and I expect good runnin this mornin....Gettin ready to kick em out now...

I'm like you and just glad to see the snow go. The rabbits are finally coming back out to play again so we can at least get some running in unlike the last month or so. The spot behind my house you would have thought every rabbit was gone 2 weeks ago and last night we jumped 4 or 5 in just under 2 hours. Races weren't great but they are getting better with less and less snow. They seem to be more willing to stay up and play at least for a while now.
