Recent health matters have sharply curtailed my posting to the journal. I hope to be able to continue in February.

today at Gray's place near Pittsview, Alabama.
"We" got four rabbits and lost two. Judy, Cuz's oldest, fattest and slowest dog jumped and caught the first rabbit when it thought it was hidden and waited for the dogs to pass before doubling back. Judy wasn't fooled.
I, ever the sportsman, speeded up two rabbits with well placed shots in order to make it more sporting when Bag and Rye killed them.

The final race was the best with the sound of six dogs boiling up out of a bottom as they ran a small sager in six large circles before Rye managed to put him down.

I would encourage the readers to invest in shot gun shell manufacturers. I shot three times for zero rabbits. Brag shot four times for one rabbit. Rye shot five times for two and Cuz shot twice for none.

All in all, it was a good day.

this morning. Now, if I can keep the dogs off of deer.

to my rabbit hunting friends.
