Tallyho 181 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 The wye valley otter hounds used to hunt the brook that i was just on about i got an old news paper picture with the hounds on when they hunted it in 1930, the otter they caught that day was caught just over the road from me and the people that owned the land had the tail and mask mounted and the daughters that still live there now gave the tail to my partner but they still got the mask, i will try to scan and get the artical up later .
