January Foxhunt
The January 17 hunt began at
3:30 p.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church with a multitude of hunter present.
The fox was KB9SNO - Landon
Key. With Key were his girlfriend, Samantha Godsey, and friend, Matthew
Abel, KB9SGM.
Hunters included:
- KC9FHX,
Mike Boles
- KF9NP, Mike
Wright
- N9KH, Keith
Harris
- KB9SNL, Tim Wray,
and wife Melissa
- WA9FFZ, Larry
Hammersley
- KB1AHR, Ben
Hofmann, and wife Karen
- KB9WOF, Christian
Schuler.
The Fox Box was located at
Ferguson Cemetery, just off Indian Creek road approximately 1.5 miles
northeast of Silverville.
Landon hid the box in a tree
at the site, causing many hunters to search for it for quite a long period
of time on foot in very wet, muddy conditions.
Landon hid at a cemetery a
short distance south of the fox site, in a Suzuki Samuari owned by Abel in
order to somewhat conceal his identity.
The winner was KB1AHR-Ben
Hofmann with 12.2 miles.
2nd - KF9NP - Mike Wright -
12.4 Miles
3rd - KB9SNL - Tim Wray - 17.0 Miles
4th - KB9WOF - Christian Schuler - 18.1 Miles
5th - KC9FHX - Mike Boles - 29.6 Miles
The next Foxhunt was February
21 at 3:30 PM. Ben, KB1AHR, was the fox.
