RABBIT HUNTING

On Saturday Rusty brought his three rabbit dogs over for some rabbit hunting.
John came along with him. We met Bill and his son Scott at the back lane at about 8:45a.m. The dogs had no problem finding rabbits at the cemetery - with all that cover thats where they were staying. We wanted to see and hear the dogs run so we took to the field for the hunt. The first rabbit was a crafty one. After an hour and a half run, I had missed him six times. Moving on, the next rabbit wasn't so lucky. John shot him in his lucky foot. That slowed him down enough for me to get him. By the time we got to the end of the back lane we had bagged a total of three rabbits. We moved on to the thicket at the wet lands. We got two more there. Went to the flood pond area and ended up with three more. The dogs did a great job with only one rabbit getting away (the one I missed six times!). I had my dogs with me working as flushers and retrievers. We ended up finding eight quail during this hunt - but did not shoot. Jay came along and supervised with his side kick grandson Dylan (Rusty's son). Hunt ended at 3:30 p.m. or so.DSCN0239DSCN0233
