All is good at bobworld. I have most of the food plots planted and with the all the rain they look good.This is the flood pond. I planted several plots of corn and soybean mix.I have seen lots of Quail and they are calling all the time. I hope they are nesting and are successful with raising lots of broods.I built more bush piles. Also see lots of rabbits.
The puppies are over six weeks old now and going on jitney rides. Lily is going though her molt and has most of one red tail feather!
We went to Colorado for Jake's graduation and got to see real mountains & Gardens of the Gods. .We ate at a lot of cool places this is the Colorado Mountain Brewery. I Got to meet Brett and Lindsey some of Jake's friends who read this blog.

PUPPIES
Katie and Whisler started a family! Two males and a female. I have the female sold and asking $150 for the males. They are two weeks old now.
Lily's hunting season is over and now is molting.I should start seeing the beginnings of her new red tail soon.
She ended up getting 39 rabbits, 1 squirrel, 1 wood duck, and a quail.
I got a real nice turkey this spring.Ed got one too.
The flood pond was planted in corn over the weekend. The clover and winter peas plots look real good and I see deer in them every evening.

RABBITS AND QUAIL
I took pop pop's double out after quail . Janey went on point at the corner of the woods behind Brian's house. I walked up to her and tried to get a picture and the birds flushed! The covey of about 20 was in the biocolor lispesa . I only was able to get one shot off by the time I dropped my phone and shoulder the double .I loved it when the bird went down. Dakota made the retrieve.It's cool getting a quail with my first shot from the double.Then the following weekend I took it out with the beagles.
Katie jumped a rabbit and they ran it around past me twice. When the rabbit crossed the lane I through a load shot out of the left barrel at him. The weeds were too high to see if I connected. When the dogs stopped running I walked in to find they had my rabbit.The duck hunting hasn't been too good. There's been a couple hundred wood ducks using Bill's pond but they leave every day at first light. They won't come back till after shooting light. I got these one morning.The hawking's been good. Lily's got 21 rabbits so far.

NEW PUPPIES
I've wanted Beagles for awhile. Got the chance to get a pair last week. They are 15 months old, running rabbits, and very well trained. They are
named Katie and Whiskey. Lily's got a lot to keep her eyes on now. Four
dogs and me chasing out rabbits.
Lily got #13 yesterday at the thicket by the wetlands .
Bill and I shot ducks Saturday morning and I got these two.
Last Saturday was my dads 85th birthday. For his birthday he gave me my grandfathers' shotgun .
Pop Pop was very big Quail hunter.
I plan on shooting a few Quail over the weekend with it.

The Rabbit hunting has been good. Lily's caught 10 now .She got her first Quail, the covey was on the ground in the honeysuckle and she dove down on a cock bird.I got it from her and she went on to get a rabbit too.It's been deer season the last two weeks so I have been hunting the ditch banks. The cover is really heavy for Lily to break through - saving lots of Rabbits.

LILY'S DOING GOOD
Saturday morning Tom came over to rabbit hunt. We started at hedge row behind the cabin .Lily got right up in a tree and we started hunting.We didn't jump any rabbits till we got to the corner where Tom got one moving and Lily missed it.I jumped the next one and Lily dove for it but got hung up in some heavy green briars.The next one we jump got saved by the Bicolor Lespedeza -
Lily couldn't get though it.That was the last one that got away,the next three weren't so lucky. This was the last one we got, Lily nailed him running down the edge.That was three rabbits in two hours - best day ever! I went back out again Sunday and got one more making six so far.

RABBIT # TWO
On my lunch Wednesday Donald met me at the house and we hunted for an hour. We jumped two rabbits, the one ran from the cover down the path. Lily was high in a tree and came down fast. She was right on its' tail when I lost sight of them. I thought for sure I was going to hear the squeal but back in the tree she went.It wasn't long when she dove down in the field again but still no squeal. I found her on the ground - no rabbit.She got back up in a tree. We hunted a while longer, then I tried calling her down with the lure. She wasn't interested in coming to the lure.I didn't want to be late for work so I had Donald get me a live quail from my pen. When she saw it - down she came. We didn't hunt Thursday. Today's hunt went much better. We hunted the hedge row behind the cabin. Janey treed a squirrel and Lily went for it but it got to a hole. The dogs and I hunted down the hedge row, Lily moved along with us from tree to tree.I jumped a rabbit and Lily dove for it but there was a lot of cover and it got away.Lily got back up in a tree and we hunted on. I came to a small bush pile and gave it a hit. The rabbit ran out, saw Lily was watching she did a spin on limp and dove.I heard the squeak and new we had #two.
