Post by Pine Ridge Beagles »

I was wondering how many of you made the decision not to go to the Up this year due to the wolf problem.I leave the 18th for 10 days.Al

Life is too short to worry about the what if's. I hope we don't have any issues up there and as much shooting as we do, we shouldn't.
Me and my Awful Bawlin hounds, along with the rest of the VA.Mafia, will be heading up there on the 12th of this month.
You know, me and my hounds are a lot alike. If we don't make it back then we all died doing what we love.
Best of luck to you on your trip.

Well, I save up my vacation every year for this trip. I could go to the beach and worry about getting eatin by a shark. Life's a gamble no matter what you do.

He might bite you, but I doubt he would eat you after the first taste ! :D :D

You're probably right Anthony, but I bet there will be a pitcher of sweet tea made for paw paw when I gets to the UP. :blush:

Not going this year, but the wolves have nothing to do with it.
