At least the first part of this tune reminds of a tune with a title something like "Let's Go Hunting." There are a few recent recordings, I think, including one by Bruce Molsky.

Subject: Stuart Lundy untitled tune

There is an untitled tune on the tape Kerry mentioned  (HE 86).  I think it 
is a different tune.

I put it here
