Took my wife and my dad hunting today. The old man showed us up. He killed 2. My wife killed 1. She's killing at least 1 every time we go now, it seems like. She's hooked. Lol. Jumped 7 and killed 4. Had to end the hunt a little early and go pick up my youngest boy from school because he was sick. My dad had already quit by that time. My wife wasn't ready to quit. LolWent hunting this morning. Started off great. Jumped 5 and killed 1 before 10:00 am, after that we couldn't find a rabbit.
I took some time off work for next weekend. I plan on hunting 3 days. I hope to have a good update
Dogs did absolutely awesome. Thick frost both days. It didn't affect the dogs at all. I figured it would really mess with the track.
That's good, mine seem to struggle until it starts to melt off.... Those a great days too be out...
Yeah that was a great present. My dogs normally struggle in the frost too but the last couple hunts they have done great.
Another good morning but slow afternoon because it warmed up to 65 degrees. Jumped 13. Killed 9. Dogs did absolutely amazing. Ran 8 miles.
Private land is about all I hunt. Lot of door knocking over the years but it's worth it. I keep a list of properties I hunt in my wallet because I forget some places. I have 3 local farmers that have land spread out across the county and surrounding counties that I have free reign on. I have several places but always lookin for more because it seems like I lose a couple every year due to leases or sold. Whenever we kill several from one spot we leave it alone for a year or two. We did get permission to hunt a 400 acre farm here recently that is owned by a land company. It's split up in lots and parts of it are already sold. We won't ever be able to hunt it again after this season. We've killed 24 at that spot.
Me and a buddy hunted this morning with an older fellow on his farm. Jumped 5, only killed 2. Dogs did real good. Ran 8 miles in 3 hours. This warm weather is making it hard to hunt. It was 67 degrees when we stopped.
