12 Hounds a Howling

I wasn't going to go. Jordan finally convinced me last night to go out cat hunting with our friends for the day. I'm glad I did. There was plenty of coffee and food, so I was happy. You basically drive around looking for a cat track, then when you find one that is fresh, you turn your dog(s) out on the track and they will follow it until they tree the cat. It's actually a really cool concept.
Unfortunately, we didn't come across any fresh tracks today. So my day consisted of driving around in the truck. But I still had a great time. Jakey was a little angel as usual. He was laughing, ooing and aahing at everything. We are very new to this cat hunting stuff, but we're starting to figure it out. We came across some other cat hunters, so we all got out and started talking. Well... we started yelling. Because as soon as the trucks stop, there is 12 coon hounds howling! And one yellow lab trying to bark and fit in. Everyone is talking among themselves like the noise doesn't even bother them! Maybe you just get used to it. But trust me...it was LOUD!

So that was my day. Oh.. and the temperature up here is really warming up, so I came home to a mud pit from all the snow melting. Awesome.

I didn't take many pictures today on our little adventure. I hope to get lots tomorrow when I go to Wells Grey Park! So stay tuned!
