At Home :ashamed:. Took the dogs for a 1/2 hr run this morning. 3 beautiful points on 3 beautiful ruffies and no gun in hand. Oh well, a great training opportunity and the dogs loved it.:thumbup:

Still 10 days left in the season up here so we will get a few more chances.
Sweet not always bout the kill . That's another reason I like hunting rabbit with my beagles . Don't have to shoot um all to have fun . Kinda like (catch & release ) hunting .
Even when I have my gun, I tend to release quite a few, usually not on purpose. Dog doesn't mind as long as I get one every so often ;)Quote:

I'm shocked! You must be getting old. :)
Flushed one grouse yesterday, not a hope of getting a shot off, those pines are pretty thick.
And, I'm sticking to that!
No he's just honest.Quote:

Then, a couple days later when I finally did get a shot....someone put a tree right where I pulled the trigger....imagine....trees in a forest...who wouda thought???
The dog's not talking to me....lol
