"It's that time of year again. The snows of winter are slowly melting as the river ice buckles under the rays of the spring sun. Geese fly overhead, northbound for nesting grounds above the arctic circle, honking to mark both the passage of winter and miles traveled. It's the time of year when nature replenishes itself, and the very animals we have hunted produce offspring that will grow, to be admired and hunted anew. It's stupendous, isn't it?"Join the Author in his view of late winter/spring hound management.

"My relationship with my old dogs is more complicated and melancholic. I look into their eyes and I see the adventures we have shared, their potential fulfilled (or not), mistakes I have made (of which there are always many), and I feel sorrow that our adventures together are nearing their end. I also feel a deep gratitude for what they have given me."The Author explores the true value of an old, yet experienced, hound.
