The Hunt

The dogs (bottom right) are way behind their game which
went out of shot a long time before!
Saturday Morning, and no snow until suddenly there was a cold flurry about breakfast time. So whilst we were at the cottage I went out to take some snow photos.
What a racket! Shouts, barking, and a horn blowing. So I looked out over the countryside to see a deer coming out of the woods over the fields. The sound of the dogs remained behind the trees so the game escaped this time. A long time later the dogs appeared but clearly, even for a non-hunter like me, it was too little, too late.
Here's to one who got away, then- though, as June said, we do enjoy the meat. We have some in the freezer ready for Christmas in fact.
