Beautiful morning to be out! The snow melted as it got towards noon, we quit then because the plan is to hunt the next 4 days and at 8 & 6 years old it doesn't make sense to tire the girls out on day one. These dogs are in their prime and are just a joy to hunt with!
Laying out the gear the night before...
Beautiful place to hunt...
We got a nice surprise though- they brush-hogged some paths- the last time we hunted this spot I came out looking like I lost a fight with a bobcat!
Taking a minute to clean a rabbit before the next run...
Saw deer, hawks, TONS of geese both Canada's & Snows, and of course some rabbits, 5 of which got invited to the neighborhood game dinner next month. Last time here we took a limit of 18, I think the brush hogging opened up the hunting for the hawks & owls too.
