12-23-2010 You wanna know how its done Rabbit hunt

Post by Joeyman »

Today we hit the woods again for some fast pace rabbit chasing action. Dogs lit up the woods big time today. So far since my time off from work the dogs have had roughly 40hrs of ground time. They still seem like they can push a rabbit hard. Got one dog I've not taken along a few times giving him some rest but the others have gone everytime.

For those of you that want to know how we get all these rabbits. well take a look at the video I have made. That'll answer all your questions. Its not me.... its the dogs. Take a listen to them hounds running those rabbits as hard as they can bringing them around to the gun. See for yourself.

We were in rabbits all day long today. Jump after jump till both guns on the ground had their limits and we went on home. As a treat we shot a couple quail. I like shooting quail its alot of fun. They are one of the best birds to eat if you ask me. I've collected a few and now have enough to make a nice sized meal.

I have never hunted this area before. First time we have hunted this spot. I knew it was always there but never tried to hunt it. I don't think we'll go back till next year. We jumped more than killed. About 4 or so got away from us and no telling what we didn't jump.

this is what it looked like where we did some hunting at. Didn't get any pics of the thick woods we were hunting you'll see that in the video.

I know the video is long but watch it. It gets better as it goes on.

Heck-of-a-video, Joey!

Man, I wish I could get into that quantity of bunnies (maybe it's more the dog-power...).

That's a real good video Joey. Nice work. Way better than some of the junk that makes it on "hunting shows".

Alright joeyman, it's on now!!! I just got permission on a pretty promising looking spot this afternoon. I'm gonna round up the guns and go see what we can do...........as soon as Ron can get some time off work that is. :roll:

Or maybe I'll just have to go check it out by myself later this week. :shock:

Seriously though there were tons of tracks and pellets in the section I did walk into so if the rest is as good as that part looks then we should have another good spot for bunnies. :nod:
