Saturday, October 29
Herskee's; Florida

Just above freezing start to the day, fox in Herskee's swamp not home, but then a quick burst across Wheeler Road and then an approximate five mile point by hounds (if not by field) on coyote bent on leaving the area - right through part of the Village of Florida!  Just prior to this, we came upon an unrecognized loose horse grazing in a meadow where none should be and tried to find owner with no success, but found temporary home until they could be located.  Your car photographer lost the hunt completely (radios out of range).  Having the tracker collars on this hunt meant that many of the hounds had to take their chances going across a major road only once as we could pick them up prior to their returning.
