The DVRA held its final fox hunt of the 2023 season on December 2nd. The hunters gathered at the Chapin School amongst fog that socked in the Princeton Area. At nine o’clock the fox was activated, and the event was underway.
The fox was quite sly this outing – hiding in Turning Basin Park on Alexander Road between the Delaware & Raritan Canal and Stony Creek. The buildings of Princeton provided many reflections that challenged the hunters. Eventually, everyone found the 2W fox and the three 15mW foxes hidden in the park.
