Took the pack out today with my son Jeremy and a buddy of his Nick. Up until today, we have used only the bows this season for our rabbit hunts but we decided to use the scatterguns today so we could put some more meat in the bag. I used my BFR 410 revolver, Jeremy and Nick both used 20 gauge model 48 sportsmans. The gun Jeremy used belonged to my younger brother Rob who was killed in a work accident in 1990. This is the first time the gun has been used since the loss of my brother and we reflected on memories of Rob in the field while we were out today. I felt like Rob was with us today, he was only 24 when he lost his life and my son resembles Rob somewhat and is now 25, it felt good to see his gun take 2 rabbits today as Jeremy did it proud. I took a couple with the revolver to end the day with 4 in the bag between us. I wasn't expecting too much today because my dogs are not all that great in the snow. Well they started off a little slow but became better the more they ran. We had 6 good chases and bagged 4 so I am happy with the end result. It's always a good day when I am in the field with my son, today was even more special because of that old familiar 20 gauge I saw my little brother take on many of our hunting trips. He was my hunting partner. You are missed brother.
