Fall 2007 Foxhunt Results


By K2AS - Posted on 20 October 2007

The Fall 2007 Foxhunt is history.  Only four teams took part in this edition of our twice yearly event.  The day was mostly cloudy with some occasionaly light rain, and some wind.
The hunt began at Culver-Ridge Plaza in Irondequoit at 9:30 AM.  Teams got a bearing pretty quickly and were on their way to the general area of the fox pretty quickly.  WO2P and N2KXS were the first to get to the park where the fox was located, and began tracking on foot.  Two more teams were not far behind.
As the park was split by Irondequoit Creek, Jon Dickason N2JAC and Bob Scott split up and tracked the fox on both sides of the creek.  WO2P had been on the correct side, but some misleading readings convinced him to cross to the other side.  Meanwhile Ned W2NED, son Greg, and Bob K2OID came up the trail and kept going.
John Randall W2JMR and Sharon had some equipment problems, but still got to the general area before running out of time when the hunt ended at Noon.
Here was the finishing order:

  1. Jon Dickason N2JAC and Bob Scott
  2. Ned Asam W2NED, Bob Karz K2OID, and Gregory
  3. Fred Miller WO2P and Judy Stonehill N2KXS
  4. John Randall W2JMR and Sharon

Lunch followed at the Duchess restaurant in Penfield.
Brian K2AS would like to thank:

  • My son Greg for helping select the hiding place
  • Gary Wagner N2HPL for helping hide the fox and control it
  • Fred Miller WO2P for letting us use his fox

I'm looking forward to being hunting again next spring!
