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?

isn't our only tailgate meal.
Many's the can of sardines that have been opened.
Remember how they used to say "packed like sardines" when talking about crowded things?
Well, maybe we need

I’ll shoot you and swear I thought it was a burglar breaking in after you went rabbit hunting” GF said about six in the morning after the eleventeenth time I came back in to rummage for a missing piece of rabbit hunting equipment.

Who knew that you needed so much stuff to just attempt to kill a rabbit? The resulting threats had occurred after I had to turn the car around, shining the lights through the bedroom window and go back to get my 16ga bunny gun.
I was at the gate…again, when I remembered my boots at the back door. Thinking about GF’s last warning I decided that it had been dry and warm enough to get by with my tennys.

Alabama Rabbit Season 08-09 and I'm going out the door with a chainsaw instead of my shotgun

the t shirt man. As a side note, I can understand why a man would want to live in Auburn....not that I would since I'm married to the lovely GF who makes all those 20 year old coeds pall in comparison.

Anyway.

I went to the new hunting club yesterday to do a little looking around.
I saw 2 rabbits. The first was sitting in one of the club roads right by the gate. I pulled out the camera and turned it o, but everything is out of focus. It worked the last time it was out of the case, so I have no idea what happened. Hopefully, it is a common problem with a setting or something and can be fixed by the local guys,

Unfortunately, this club will be ADS(after deer season) as far as rabbit hunting goes.
The good news is I think we could hunt there every weekend in Februaryi went to the new hunting club yesterday to do a little looking around.
It is 8600 acres. The land goes over to and across the road that goes to the county lake. It's close to where we hunted before. Lots of young clear cuts and planted pines.

Sounds good. The trouble is we have SO much land to hunt in February, that most would need to take a months vacation to cover half of it.
Maybe we need to start agitating at the Alabama CAB meetings to have deer season end on 15 January or earlier and we'll let them start 1 October or maybe even in September

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

the stats and noticed that the #2 picture called up was titled
"Rabbit Hunting is such hard work", featuring Lucy as a pup



The #1 picture that was called up was titled "The Parade"

Thinwater here, what a honor to be able to post something on The Rabbit Journal. I've been working on a 22 rifle since June to enhance the sights on it to be able to shoot long distances without a scope. I already had a Henry Goldenboy 22lr and decided that I would put a globe and tang sight on this gun because it was already an accurate gun, and I could affort to shoot it when finished. This project took way longer than expected due to lack of information on the parts selected, then lack of correct information when technical information was called at the company. The project finally turned around and I thought I'd post this in a kind of response to our host Rimfire's comment of what we'd been doing this summer.

GF and I are going to spend a few days fishing on the center console, the "2+3" in Apalachicola. We'll blow the horn as we pass through Dothan, BB.

We won't be back until sometime Tuesday. I'll have my laptop and verizon card with me, but I doubt that I will be in a broadband area. Plus, it's doubtful that ya'll be much on my mind anyway. Unless I need to brag some.. lol

Now in reference to picture taking.

A refresher

Processing the pictures.
Pictures must be processed for the web so that they take up less space, take less time to download for a reader with a dialup, use less bandwidth. Remember I pay for this site, so lets keep it user and wallet friendly.

that I took the liberty of downloading and resizing for publishing on this page.
I hope that's ok, BB.
I'll be glad to walk you through the process one day when you have time


Hey, rimfire and everyone else.
I figured y'all was kinda wondering what I look like for the past year or so, so here is a pic of me at my kennels, a pic of me with Red Man(thanks rimfire and hover)and a pic of my brother. I'm still not sure how to post the picture so ill just keep using photobucket till I figure out.

It's not dead yet, though the enemies on the right and the left have severely wounded it. And a LOT of damage has been done by the guardians of the Constitution, the Federal Courts.

My favorite part?
It's the part "they've" already killed, the Tenth amendment.

Irony?

you need to see this.
