Adren Nance, MFH and Huntsman for Juan Tomás Hounds, hunts the hounds with a GoPro on his helmet. He was able to film some nice footage of his crossbred hounds hunting a line a few days before Thanksgiving. They hunt outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
From Master Adren Nance: 11/24/24 was outstanding. We set off with 10.5 couple of hounds and immediately struck a fast line with about a 1-mile point with success. After a quick water check, we hunted into the hills when Jay (Diamonon), scouting with binoculars from the woopie wagon since he is still out of commission with his bowed tendon, called us into another coyote. At that point the pack was about 2 miles away, we lifted and made our way to the tally-ho. On the way our tenacious hunter – but very wily hound – Nebula decided she didn’t want to travel and went off on her own line. Once we got to the last known location of the spotted coyote, the pack struck the line. We took off like a rocket, running at full cry and winding back and forth on the scent for quite a bit. When our lead hounds had only yards to go, the old veteran coyote slipped quickly into his den. Gone to Ground was blown, but he showed us why he lived to a ripe old coyote age. We then had to spend a lot of miles catching up to Nebula who was happily working her own line. Hot and tired we all rode in with smiles on our faces.
GPS Distance: 13.1 miles. Conditions: Starting temp 46 ending 73, cloudless sky with no wind.
Juan Tomás Hounds was recognized in 1979.
