Thanks 3Ddepression.
I have ask a fewof runners.
I think beginning to see the thrill.
You said tradition....maybe thats something to add in to help get it.
I have to say that when I do here the dogs coming I get antsy.
A tid bit excited I say. Then I switch off that on think dag that one could have been right there ready to peak his head out the the same sound I here he does too, and awwwaaaaaay he goes.
I can say I have popped one from the workof the dogs and later on Isorta felt kinda guilty for doing that.
So I think I sorta get it alittle.
The sound of the hound.......
The racing heart beat.........( goes both ways)
The anticapation.........( goes both ways)
The drop shot................( goes both ways)
The feeling of a well trained K-9 at work,
I understand that ( 3 St. Bernards, Pascal, 3J andZeus)
The fairchase is what I having a hard time understanding, thats what I look for in a good hunt.
Thanks for all the in put and all..........

Oh, one more thing
I had a dog hunter tell me this which I did not like but he was truthful, about other stuff also.
That before a big planned hunt that they would cut back on feeding for a week before the hunt to make the dog hunt harder, sorta like hunting for hisfor food.
I had a hard time swallowing those thoughts I tell you what.
Thanks Again,
FirstBow
