at Plunkers place in Chambers county in connection with the semi annual Ridge Grove Volunteer Fire Department BBQ Fund Raiser (ain’t that a mouth full?) was a success.

without missing was continued on Saturday’s hunt.

Put together at the last minute, only Brag, Plunker and myself attended. I called Hover late Friday, but hung up when I got the voice mail. Dustin, Cuz’s grandson told me he would be there, but he is 19 and it was a Friday night.

We ran three dogs, Sammie, Lucy and Katie. And had some great races at the front of our hunting lease on a pine plantation near Seale, Alabama.



Plunker was 1 for 2 as was Brag.

Two hunts into the season and nary a cap busted.
On the positive side, it means that I haven’t missed… yet.
And despite Brag’s assertions that I didn’t shoot today because I couldn’t get the rabbit to sit still, I can assure you that I’m never shy about speeding up a running bunny. Makes it more sporting for the other hunters, you know?

on The Rabbit Journal Pack only four days before opening. It's not pretty

Penny is on the disabled list with a torn toenail. Probably from her remodeling of one of the doghouses. It now has 2 skylights, a side entrance and a bolt hole in the back, Her return by opening day is in doubt.

Lucy, the beaner, has put on a great deal of weight this inactive summer. She wheezes like a two pack a day smoker after a short race.

Katie is looking good as usual, though I still wonder if she was running that deer silent or just tagging along, following the pack.

Sammy is looking good. He just needs more training.

Sallie Mae has ran a deer twice. She needs the collar

Sissy, is a big ? She has shown very little interest in a race after ten to fifteen minutes.

The price of gasoline and the chores at Rabbit Run put a serious damper on my summer training
