Here We Go Again

No big fancy cabin this year, but a quick get away. And it was awesome. For some of you that don't know us we have five sons that we are very proud of and they grow up very quick. Our first son Billy IV and our third son Cody couldn't make the trip this year due to work obligations. They had business meetings in Orlando. The rest of the Jackson Boys Corey, Jamey, and Chase had the opportunity to shoot to the UP for the weekend. It was a extra special weekend because we had nephew Cole in tow (like always). Cole this year was at a track meet and got smacked it the head with a flying disc and was lucky to survive. After several surgeries he was finally cleared and has made a pretty much full recovery. So it was real good to have him along. He has been with us up here on many trips over the years. It don't matter how many ribbons or trophies you win it is about the good clean fun you spend with the family and hounds. This year we had many young hounds getting their first taste of blood. We run for 2 1/2 days with the 2 lead dogs having over 45 miles put on them. Some of the young 1 year old hounds had over 30 miles on them. The wife and I never carry a gun. The kids do all the shooting. And when we go north they are ready to shoot. They only shoot on Thanksgiving day around here. Many hare were wounded and run down. They absolutely love to destroy a hare. Hard to get to them quick enough. (Time to get worming). We killed a total of 11 hare. Don't know if any of you guys ever seen this because we only do this once a year and have never run a hare down, but almost this time. We were standing with our 13 year old son Chase and he is itching for a shot. The pack was in full cry an not missing a beat. I'm telling him watch, get ready. And sure as crap here he comes. I say here he comes as he starts to bring his gun up I say Oh no no no don't shoot. Jack is nipping at his heels. Could literally hear his teeth clacking. Don't know how he didn't catch him. Never seen nothing like that on a hare. They run by us at 3 feet with him nipping at his heels. He had that hare pushed 100 yards before the rest of the pack come by. Either swung the right way or lifted his head. Don't know witch. We had a terrific time and one of these days we just may retire up there. Be careful of the bears and the wolves there are a bunch of both. Also want to say that we met a bunch of beaglers from all over. If any of you boys are down this way stop in and we will run them.1019172115c by William Jackson, on Flickr1508612524378 by William Jackson, on Flickr1021171503b by William Jackson, on Flickr
