Update from The Preserve
What a Summer so far! After a cold wet Spring, the heat turned on in July, and now it's about to turn off again (phew!). We have been "hosting" a herd of yak this year, who are helping to keep down the excess vegetation. We have seen some broods of pheasant but, as usual, we don't have a good sense of numbers as we leave their nesting areas alone. Fingers crossed they are enjoying the surfeit of grasshoppers and getting plenty of protein!
Importantly, and sadly, we are down to one dog this season, though we have a puppy reserved for us, coming soon. Violet died of old age just after Christmas, while on a hunt, after showing occasional signs that all was not well but soldiering on anyway. Tragically, though, Reacher, our delightful Brittany, contracted dysautonomia, which incapacitated his GI system which he was unable to survive. So dear Rimu is our sole hunting partner this season, which he won't be upset about at all! It does mean we are now limiting guests to hunters with their own dog, or to half-days at a time with Rimu. This will not be an issue for my hunting lesson clients.
We are looking forward to welcoming all our guests this season. I'm already enjoying some pre-season training classes with some wonderful new hunters! Nothing like being prepared when the first pheasant flushes! Anne
