The Rabbit Journal Tales


Killing a few minutes

before going to evening worship with the Crawford Church of Christ, I figured I would download the pictures from yesterday's hunt.

In addition to these items from a picture taking post

Most of my outdoors cameras are cheap. You don’t want a high dollar camera that you ‘re scared of dropping in the creek. Ok, falling in the creek with. Or slamming in the tailgate, dogs using it as a chew toy, getting to the other side of one of those hell’s half acres, only to find a empty case.
Heck, ya’ll are rabbit hunters, you can conjure up all the possible scenarios.


Let's add " forgetting to check your clothes before washing after a hunt"

12-30-08 NorthAlabama Chapter Hunt

It didn't turn out great, but it didn't go bad either. Kyacker and I went to some more TVA land because our "friends" will let us hunt their place after deer season. Next fall when one of them comes over to make sure they can goose hunt on our farm I just might tell them, after deer season....

Deer Hunting Scum

These guys didn't let them walk, but I'd rather they let them lay where they shot them. Here is a glimpse of something I've ranted about here before. Hit the read more to view the carnage.

I went tree sitting

this morning. I was in search of a couple of suitcase deer. You know, the type that you can tie their feet together and pick them up and go?

Don't you just hate it when you don't see nothing that is good for the roasting pan?

In an otherwise slow posting week,

Yes, I know I could post about Saturday's hunt with only Brag, Cuz and myself, and I will as soon as I find time to set down and type for an hour, or about one of my other rabbit guns, or even how the Pups (and "girls") are doing as Beagler asked.
And I will.

djmed sends this pic of his personal best deer.
Don't be fooled. djmed is a really big boy and would tend to dwarf an elk

I left today's hunt

at lunch. I was supposed to finish up part of this project.

08_rabbit_hunt_20_December_2008_024.jpg

I didn't bother to tell GF that we all quit at lunch. Better to let her think that I made a special effort. Point stockpile, you know.

How much did I get done?
Well, actually, I fell asleep on the couch and didn't wake up till 6

Oh, "we" got 3

I was going to

write up and post last Saturday's rabbit hunt in Seale, but Brag, Plunker, Cuz and I decided to hunt at Pittsview instead.
Details later......I promise

Bunny Guns

Ok, class, listen up

Your assignment is to think about bunny guns. It can be one you hate, love, use, or put in a closet until it's time to inflict it on a loved one.

Take a good picture or two and email me the why's.
I'll write it up in a post. Or Those with a password can write and post their own.

I have three, four if you count a twenty guage with a barrell long enough to slap the rabbit in the head instead of shooting him. I'll probably start with the Fox

Tis the season

What did I do yesterday?

trim_the_tree_008.jpg

Why I

Private Wiggles

may I present JAMES ALAN (WIGGLES) PLUMMER USMC

wiggles.jpg

Ok, maybe the name "Wiggles" is a bit undignified, but I bet he's been called a lot worse

Sigh!

bb_and_pups.jpg

You might want to have her email me to set up your account. And she might want to refer to this post and this one

I'll be glad to "talk" you/her through the process....after I get back from rabbit hunting. We're hunting in Chambers County at Plunker's place tomorrow. It's doubtful if Plunker will attend, he was at Paris Island for Wiggle's bootcamp graduation ceremony. Yep, Wiggles is a brand new jarhead

I had looked

for this picture till I was blue in the face

It's the picture of Uncle NoPass (and Brag) that went with this post where I wrote

I’ve wrote of the clay pits before. That was a hunt where Uncle NoPass was determined that a rabbit wasn’t going to get away from him by crawling into a crevasse in a clay mesa.


At one point, Brag actually grabbed him by the belt to pull Uncle NoPass out of the hole. Neither he nor I wanted to have to go home and tell Aunt NoPass that we had lost him in a cave-in

“Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™”

What have I been doing besides not entertaining you?

Well, I’ve been busy increasing the potential size of my carbon footprint.
Or, as Redoubt will tell you, the last time he saw me I was at WallyWorld, getting ready to go out to the woods with a smoky old chainsaw in a gas guzzler to cut firewood.

Now, I’ve been thinking about that and I think that I see a way for You to help the environment and for me to make a few bucks.

The Rabbit Journal and Rabbit Run Greater Cow Emporium proudly introduce “Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™” that are now available for purchase.
You can specify which “Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™” you wish me to apply your purchase.

For $10 a month, I decrease my use of the wood burning stove by 1%.

$10 a month, and I will switch to a gas grill for that month. $20 and I’ll use an electric one.

$20 a month and I reduce my potential cow herd by 1. ( The EPA might have you paying this one in higher meat costs anyway)

For $100 a month, I’ll plant one acre of pasture in trees*.

For the cost +15% ( to cover taxes, fees and such) of a new environmentally friendly vehicle and I’ll retire my 1980 cj5 and 1985 Pathfinder.

Check each month for new and exciting “Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™” * that you can purchase to help save Mother Earth.

The purchase of “Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™” make an excellent teaching tool for school projects and are eligible for special government educator’s rates of +5%.

Can you imagine the joy on your child’s face this Christmas or birthday when they open up their beautifully done “Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™” card (on recycled paper, of course) showing a picture of the hog, cow or vehicle that they helped remove from the planet and reduce their co2 emissions.
Or, if you choose, you can sponsor “Rabbit Run Carbon Set Reductions™” Deer Reduction plan for a special price of $100 a head. The Deer Reductions will reduce the population of these deadly menaces to the planet that not only emit co2, but also cause vehicle accidents and raise insurance rates.
The Children will be happy knowing that they have helped save the planet from global warming, or global cooling or rising sea levels or receding shorelines or the rapid release of magma or the terror of tornadoes, or vehicle accidents or high cholesterol from red meat.
A “Rabbit Run Carbon Set” truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

* When funds drop below prescribed limits, the chainsaw comes out, the vehicles are gassed up.

*Coming soon: Cholesterol offsets. The guilt free way to pig out

Why haven't I been keeping

you entertained? Or at least rabbit hunting?

Well, as some like to say, I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

I did post this and this

Brag called

and he said that with all the rain (very little out here at Rabbit Run) and the wind to follow, he was going to stay home. I think the proper context to read this is "I want to watch the Auburn Georgia game even if I do think that it's going to be ugly"

Plunker called and told me "I want to watch the Auburn Georgia game even if I do think that it's going to be ugly" which was a bit more honest

djmed, I think, is off trying to shoot bambi. Probably because he thinks the Auburn Georgia game is going to be pretty ugly.

Rye just got out of the hospital. He seems to be doing fine though he has an appointment with a lung doctor to see what went wrong.

Cuz don't hardly go without Rye. I think they have reached the senior teat stage. You know, old wrinkled and saggy. And if you see one you see the other.
Besides as Alabama fans, they think the Auburn Georgia game is going to be pretty ugly and they don't want to miss a play.

So, looking the situation over, I went to the lovely GF, matriarch of the stately Rabbit Run Manor and told her
