    On To Wyoming

    On To Wyoming
    By Beverley C. Heffernan

    On Monday, April 9, the overambitious drove over 350 miles from Burwell, and even further from points west, to arrive in Wyoming in time for a 3 pm beagling meet. Tom Mallard, MB, brought his Western Weybright Beagles up from Colorado to hunt “the Isley,” the fixture scheduled for Mrs. Shoemaker’s Weybright Hounds’ Challenge day the following Wednesday. The beagles hunted enthusiastically for over two hours, marking two jackrabbits to ground and providing the followers ample opportunity to stretch their legs after hours of driving.

    Lest too many calories be lost during the afternoon, the Mallards hosted a breakfast at landowner Dave Berry’s bed and breakfast in nearby Horse Creek.

    The touring foxhunters met for dinner in Cheyenne that evening, and were greeted by snowflakes as they returned that night to their respective lodgings.

    Although several inches fell overnight, the roads were reasonably clear and the footing was good for the Tuesday, April 10 meet at Mr. Jeffords’ Hounds.

      Friday--April 13

      • Colorado--Bijou Hounds
        ...Bijou Springs staff had spent much of the day removing snow at their kennels and digging out their hound trailer, but having received much more snow than the Arapahoe country, it was apparent that their intended fixture for the Western Hunt Challenge Tour would not be huntable. They therefore accepted Arapahoe’s kind offer to meet at the Arapahoe kennels on Friday, April 13.
