    Gamble Hill Hounds Hunt Report--2001
    By Beverley C. Heffernan

    On Thursday, April 5, with the temperature in the 40s and rain in the forecast, the Gamble Hill Hounds of Imogene, Iowa, took their turn in the Challenge with a meet in gently rolling farmland with terraced corn and soybean fields.

    Honorary Huntsman Jaymes Salestrom drew 12 couple of American hounds, including four and a half couple of puppies. Two good runs on viewed coyotes were achieved before the day was cut short by approaching lightning.

    A breakfast at the Gamble Hill kennels and an evening reception hosted by MFHs Jeff and Sue Ketzler at the Dehner Boot Company in Omaha, Nebraska provided sustenance for the touring foxhunters as they prepared for their third consecutive day of hunting.
