Mr Jefford's Hound Hunt Report--2001
By Beverley C. Heffernan

On an overcast day with temperatures in the lower 40s and light to moderate winds, huntsman Martyn Blackmore moved off with sixteen couple of black and tan Penn Marydels. Heading east from the meet and ultimately working in a large clockwise circle, the pack worked well and steadily but was unable to find a coyote.

Late in the day hounds were brought to a staff view but were unable to own the line, perhaps because of the snow cover.

A return to the meet meant another opportunity to enjoy a breakfast hosted by John Jeffords and Florence VanMalderen before polishing boots and cleaning tack for the next day’s hunting.
