As long as it goes boom! I might dismantle my single shot 20 or just fugg it or find somewhere to store it...
Sounds fun, but it is a long haul for me. Schedule has been a blur and with kids activities picking up and snow always a possibility it is tough for me to get away. Wish we were closer.
Works for me J. Probably be done with church stuff by noon. Then just hanging around the house working on hanging drywall.

Well, the cold and the wind or the little amount of snow we had couldn't deter a few crazy rabbit hunters..... Sam, CJ and I went out rabbit hunting all day well most of it at least :smiley_clap: We started around 0900 and finished up around 3:30 had a few runs with one going straight to a hole and another falling too the 28 gauge toting Sam..... :smiley_coolpeace: We hit the first property and had a short run that apparently the rabbit was thinking WTH are these crazy bastards doing here today :smiley_clap: It ran in front of me with Sam about 10 yards away it stopped looked up at me and retreated and ran around me straight too the safety (and warmth) of a hole :smiley_blackeye: Probably should of shot the little peckerwood but figured I'd get him on the second go around lol..... NOT...... We did a big loop around the property that was a mixture of pine trees and treeline thickets.... It also had two ponds with pine boardering it from the west..... The wind was howling in the open areas and on the west side of the property until you got into the pines.... Seems like most of the bunnies didn't want to come out too play..... Go figure lol..... The dogs got on trail of one either Sam or myself put out, and brought it around too Sams 28 gauge pump..... He made a good shot on it ( Sam I won't tell him the second shot was better then the first :smiley_clapwell he got it and the dogs struggled with it a litlle and finally caught up to it on the ground in front of us.... That was the highlight of the action for the day un be known too us lol.....
Went for a lunch break around noon and had a sandwich and I had coffee that really hit the spot (Thanks Sam for treating us too lunch) I wish the weather would of cooperated a little bit better for the hunt since CJ had driven all the way down from the snow belt of Ashtabula, but it wasn't a total waste lol.... We had a good time even though the weather wasn't the best and had lots of good conversations and am really looking forward to the next rabbit hunt with them and hopefully its sooner than later.....
Again CJ it was good spending the day with you my friend and Sam as always it was good too get out in the field with you again..... Hope too do it again real soon......
Oh and for the record three of the 5 gauges were accounted for today, 28, 20, .410 2 pumps and an O/U ....... Sorry but no pictures were taken due to the risk of frostbite if you showed bare skin rotflmao
I think I am addicted to stories of bunny hunting. That was a good one. Thanks for a good read!
We'll have to do a NE Ohio rabbit hunt CJ we'll have to see if bluedog will bring her beagles out to play.... that is if the snow isn't waist deep lol....
Although I must admit this was down at my in-laws farm in Washington County. Wish I had that good of a spot up here. Been getting the dogs out every weekend though and have shot a few bunnies at my farm. I often don't take a gun and just let the dogs run them. Since we are not covered in rabbits up here, I set a limit for how many I will shoot at my place.
