The Longwalkers
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 4:58 pm
After reading Slash Ranch hounds, Call of the hounds, Lion Tales and now recently The Longwalkers, which I found to have the best described stories and most honest feel.
As a South African it is interesting to pick up on the 'dry ground' VS snow competition as referred to in Lion Tales and I associate with the techniques, but admire the hardships extreme cold brings to the game.
It is excellent to know other hunters expect as much fit physical condition and mental endurance of themselves as they do of their hounds.
My hat off to Mr Lewis.
Thanks for the good read Sir.
