Headed to the U.P. with a couple of friends this last weekend. Went to a little hot spot and there were more hare there again this year than I seen anywhere in the U.P. The snow was crusty with about 1/4 inch on top. The running was steady. First day we knocked down 5. The second day we never got a gun out. Ran from daylight till dark. Here's A few pic. of the dogs we had down.
Buddy Doug knocked down the first hare
Pinnacle Hill Sport male
Young female out of Main Event ShowTime
World champion Jasper male
Awful bawling Viagra male and Cedar Beck Blazer II male
Pinnacle Hill Sport male and D C Runner Hard male

Rob, looks like you guys had a good time. I've been up 2X in the last three weeks no guns but the running was great both times. Them hare put a lot of miles on the dogs. This last trip a couple of them destroyed there feet on the crust; probably won't be able to run for the next week now

Nick we had around 38 miles per dog over the two day period. First time bring Doug Collier on a trip he was a blast and learned some new phrases I will never forget.

Nick, dogs feet are shot. Last day we were going to run for a few hours and then leave for home but the dogs got deep in the swamp and ran all day. when finally caught them we had to carry one out because all his feet were tore up. Not enough pickle juice i guess.

Hey Rob and Jammie........I just wanted to say I had a great time it was nice to just sit some hounds down and let them run. I'll have to say it was pretty strange tho listening to the pack and never hearing runner open up or busting out of a check. First time in seven years he hasnt been in the field with me . For you that dont know DC's runner hard has retired due to an injury and now looking for girlfriends.Again..... thanks alot guys had a great time........DC
