Hunt Season Is Almost Here In the Rockies

This will be a short note to encourage you who hunt to get your terriers out for some serious exercise and training. In this photo, an old terrier of mine is checking out an artificial earth that I dug into our property. Getting to work a coon or fox here in the artificial earth is like putting a sharp edge on your shovel before you go out for a hunt. A lot of people have mixed feelings about this but I can tell you that in this controlled environment, we have introduced dozens of new terriers to hunting and quarry over the years. It is a good tool. We have no groundhogs here in the Rockies so most of our hunting involved travel or waiting until Fall.
