Make sure you bring straight, woods wise dogs! The white ghost will take your hounds out of hearing.

I will give you a hint on killing hare. If you see the hare, but cant get a shot, go to where you saw him, chances are you will see him there again. If your going to upper Michigan, expect dense pine growth, you may have to get on your knees to get a shot. Good luck, and have fun.

2-2 1/2 hour runs are the norm
