I was invited out for a morning duck hunt and an afternoon rabbit hunt. I've only duck hunted once on my life, but today was a blast. We bagged 9 ducks and 6 geese. After cleaning up the decoys, I let the dogs out of their box. They were probably very confused after an hour and a half car ride and listening to gunshots for 3 hours and no rabbits. I decided to tie them to a piece of farm equipment in the landowner's garage so they could get some fresh air while we had breakfast. To my surprise, when we got back, they chewed through leash and were gone. I guess they had enough of listening to gunshots and were ready to hunt. Luckily after a couple whistles and a couple of minutes later the girls returned. I learned a valuable lesson, never tie them up with a cloth leash. The girls got right to it. We had four good runs, ended up with three for the day. I'll post some more details later, I'm tired.
