Munchkin and I Had an absolutely great day out with THH.
We started out coming up the western end of Turkey Mountain (low Turkey). We had gone to the top to the old orchard and then were coming back down when the hounds hit. They ran straight back up and got over the mountain and back down into eastern end of Sperryville. Somehow Beth was able to bushwack fast enough to stay close and they ran a fox to ground near the Copper Fox Distillery.
She brought the hounds back up and we proceed to the top of low turkey when the hounds hit again. They ran to the east and we were on a hot run. We were on the backside of Turkey when the coyote kind of settled, if you could call it that, a figure eight pattern that he ran multiple times. The hounds stayed with him the whole. They had run the coyote for about an hour and 45 minutes when we broke off and headed in. The hounds jsut would not give up.
The terrain was pretty demanding today. Even so, Munchkin hit 26.1 MPH on an 8 % grade. We also were doing 10-12 MPH coming down some double digit grades. It was a lot of hills . We covered almost 3500 feet of vertical today. You can see the attached elevation profile.
