evening at home when some friends came unexpectedly to dinner, his mother told
him to ride to town and get some meat, as he went to the stable to get his
horse a flock of Prairie Chickens flew low over the house and three birds
fell in his yard after hitting the wires, he just chopped off their heads
and took them into the kitchen for supper.
Mitch had five beautiful greyhounds and we went hunting several times
before I left, he had a crate built on the back and a trap door at the back
with a cord up to the front seat, when the dogs or we saw a coyote he would
pull the chord and away they would go. These
dogs would watch for a coyote every second and they could spot them away
off and as soon as or sooner than we could. The greyhound cannot scent and
so they could only follow the coyote as long as they could see them. We
flushed one not noo far from the car and away they went, there was an arroyo
which is a dry wash and there are many of these in the sand-hills, the
coyote sliped down the bank, but the but the dogs jumped out into space, they fell in
a bunch and the coyote got away, other times we would be near a patch of
corn stalks and again the dogs would lose sight of thie quarry and come
back. However we caught several and it was good sport, Mitch had caught some
fifty the winter before and he got a good bounty for them.
it was a great visit with a great man and I always will remember it with
a lot of pleasure.
