Monday

Tennessee Valley Hunt

Saturday was Junior Hunt Day at the Tennessee Valley Hunt. It's a day for kids to enjoy a cross country fox hunt, with games and races and such. There is no real fox - just a guy dressed in a fox suit laying down a trail of bread crumbs all over the place, and the kids have a great time.

I didn't get to go watch this year, but I've gone before and it's a really pleasant way to spend a Fall afternoon. As you can see, it's gorgeous East Tn scenery

I understand that even though a guy in a fox suit is used in place of an actual fox, he is eventually mauled by the dogs just as the fox would. Is this true?

Yes, ERB, that's true. And you have been nominated for the job next time. They are making up a fox suit in your size at this very moment.
