Explain how Big Reddy eluded the dogs during the fox hunt in "The Secret of Coon Castle." |
Answers will vary but should be similar to: Early on during the chase, Big Reddy kept the pack ahead by using a vast range of tricks, like running through a maze of trails, running over rocks leaving little scent, and going through a herd of cattle. Later on, the fox crossed a different trail from another fox and threw the dogs off. Big Reddy went to Coon Castle, in a hollow tree, belonging to a large raccoon named Old Bandit. This fooled the dogs totally and they lost the fox because fungus was all around the tree, which eliminates an animal's scent. |
