SB Weekend Hare Hunt
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:04 pm
Well, my boys made plans with friends for SB party's so I decided to head up north to go after the ghost of the north.
Saturday I spent just running and trying to get some videos in the 3' of snow. They kept one hare going for nearly 4 hours and put 7 miles on per the garmin. Just to give you an idea, they typically put 15+ miles on in 4 hours, they worked their arse's off.
Sunday I left the phone/camera in my pocket, except for a couple of pics of the harvested hare, and carried the 20 gauge instead. Again, they did a good job and I harvested 2 hare after several circles each, they were down for 5 hours and put 8 miles on.
It's tough getting into position to harvest a hare in that deep of snow, I got a workout as well.
They were still wanting to hunt when I picked them up but I had to get back to the local watering hole to watch the game.
