What we look for is in the hunt not in the kill, never in a trophy. Hunting with animals makes this feeling of being one with the wilderness much more intense. I have lost my so far best hound last fall. I hunt fox and boar in Austria with hounds and a teckel. The joy of hearing them work a track in full cry, bay up a boar or go to ground( the teckel) is allways coupled with the anxiety of coming home without one of them. When you uncouple and see them vanish in the forest or into a den control about what will happen literally slipps from your hands. All these feeling came up forcefully when i read this post. I will try to get the book about hawking.Thank You and best regards, Johann Plenkplenkjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685392353611971517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-40953819998129442332015-07-04T03:42:43.290-04:002015-07-04T03:42:43.290-04:00I loved this book, and your post.

As I get older I feel less in control, but more in touch with the wonder of riding at all. I've also noticed that the world links different from the back of a horse, and that wild animals seem less afraid of my approach. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
