PA Opening day 2012
Been busy with work and family lately; thought I would post a pic of our opening day hunt. Beautiful day with a good group of guys and some awesome rabbit dogs. We ran 5 dogs all day; 3 are Field Champions out of my Field Champion Tucker. The dogs ran like they were looking at it all day. We ran 1 rabbit down after a 45 min chase that was check free straight-up relentless driving. I could see the dogs coming and the rabbit was only 10' in front of them. When they went by me they were sight chasing and with in another 30 yards they were chewing on it.

Re: PA Opening day 2012
Not to steal your post or any thing Mike, here is what I got the first day...

Not letting it stop us completely Thank God for hounds that handle, and find their own rabbit

I did have a chance to get a few to a puppy on her first hunt, before the broken leg. This is DeadRiver Large Marge

Re: PA Opening day 2012
I had a good day in PA Saturday. Only killed 2, but the running was fast a furious. The second rabbit made it out of the bottom and headed down a hedge row. My partner saw 4 rabbits and 2 cats just ahead of the dogs. The only shots fired that chase were at the cats. Maybe a few more rabbits next time. Too many cats, fox and now coyotes.
