Breaking out of the woods, on a run.
Hunting along the tree line.
 
David and Othello were in First Flight.
A couple of hounds running to catch up.
 
We were lucky to still have some fall color.

Bringing the hounds to water.
With sand bars showing, it's obvious that our water levels are lower than they've been in years.
 
Melanie watching Third flight come in.
Gathered around for some hospitality.
 
Chrissie and Mary Ann keeping watch.

Eager to head out again.
There were a number of 'green-to-hunting' horses out for opening.
 
We gathered for a 'draft cross' shot (not pictured, Shorty).
