of the morning that lasted for almost two hours and I was soaking wet. The pine plantation in Seale had received a thunder storm the previous evening and the brush still dripped water from the leaves in this, the early morning hours.

I listened to the dogs running in a thicket above me on the slope with the camera holstered as I ate a granola bar. The sager ran to within a few yards of me and froze, looking at it’s back trail.

Back

And I've been a little neglectful of some housekeeping chores around The Rabbit Journal.
I've place a new logo and link to My OutDoor TV where I'm listed as a outdoors blog. Quite a few interesting films at the site. I really liked the one on the redfish. Stop by and say "hello".



I suppose I need to get me a decent video camera and do a couple of rabbit hunts. I know a lady in North Alabama that specializes in these type of films. My trouble, of course, is trying to play it straight instead of my usual goofing off

decided to spend the weekend in Apalachicola on the 2+3.
Back in a few days

Julie of the high pitched squeal, that sounded like a man with his privates caught in a pair of vise grips
Julie of the “Boss, a storm is coming. We’re all gonna die!!”

Julie of the original combined pack of the Rabbit Journal
Julie with the show dog looks and temperament that could benefit from a xanaxx
Julie, who I watched in amazement as I knocked her down time after time as she chased a deer on an opposing hillside only to get back up and continue the chase
Julie has passed.
I don’t know why. She wouldn’t eat yesterday and went right back into her house. This afternoon she was gone, leaving Dixie, her sister as the last of the Original Rabbit Journal Pack.
Wishful thinking has her chasing a multitude of rabbits with Maizie, Sugar and the rest who have gone before

Brag and I met Tiny, camp cook and supervisor of the Teats, at Seale near daylight. We ran the area near one of the Florida boys deer stands.
Three decent races.

I hope you enjoy the stylish new hat I've gotten you to wear on our new yacht

getting up this early.
Off to exercise the "girls" at Seale with Brag.

I've done a major post.....on the Salem-Shotwell Covered Bridge that I mentioned so often in my tales and hunts at Mr. Murty''s.
It's located here with lots of pictures and cross links

his usual summer thing

"In my effort to get away from the tournament crowds, I went to Chambers County Lake last Saturday-6-9-07.
It cost 2 dollars to fish and 2 dollars to launch the boat. They do allow gas motors, but it is idle speed only.
The lake is pretty big- 183 acres and has three major sloughs, most of it was dug out, so the water is fairly deep.

I fished top water for the first two hours with no takers and finally switched to the worm. Only got one bite, but it was worth my 4 dollars.
7.5 on their digital scale. best one i've caught in quite a while. photographed and released. "

Yesterday, 2 went with me to Dr Bubba, my heart doctor in Auburn. Lyme can effect the heart and Dr. Bubba wanted to make sure that the recent chest pains in the torso weren’t heart related.
They weren’t.

page has some new additions

…..a couple of years from now when the brush and undergrowth comes in where the pines have been thinned. A smaller section was thinned two years ago and we ran quite a few rabbits in that area now that the briars, muscadine, honeysuckle and general brush has grown.

But for now, while it’s really clear between the piles of trash from where the pines were thinned, it won’t be any worse than it was when it was a shadowed, pine straw carpeted with no food or cover for much of anything. Plunker, djmed, Cuz and Rye are going to be shocked at the change on our thousand acre pine plantation hunting lease in Seale, Alabama .
A minus (or maybe plus, depending on your point of view) is that most of my deer stands are now rifle stands instead of the shotgun stands I set up. Most of you know that I prefer to completely penetrate a whitetails defenses to make my kill up close and personal, not shoot them like a cow in a feedlot. They did leave two of my oak groves in tact, so it’s not a total loss.

Brag and I are going to Seale, Alabama tomorrow morning to run the “girls” on Cuz’s hunting lease in a pine plantation.
I figure I got a free pass since I just started the Lyme medicine, but I still plan to drench myself in insect repellent.

I know I’ve been neglecting you lately, but I either just haven’t felt like writing or I hurt to bad to sit here and type.
The other night I ended up in the emergency room. I had been jolted out my restless sleep with sharp shooting pains through my chest with my hands numb.
The doctor’s office just called to tell me that I tested positive.

to the newest addition to the redneckin naval armada.

The fresh water flat top hasn’t been christened yet due to the lack of a name.
Until 2 sprang half the bill on me, I was inclined to name it the "2 minus 3", or maybe “ Negative One”, but since I’m a co-owner, a new name will have to be found.
It came with a boat slip in a marina on the Georgia side of Lake Eufaula which is probably worth more than the boat.
