Three of us went Friday with 6 dogs. We killed three. I think a few got away. Decent running.

Seven of us went all day Saturday with 7 dogs. We killed 13. Awesome running.

Both days it was a blast. Saturday it rained all day, but I don't think anyone mentioned it until it was over.

I can't wait for the weekend.

I guess if I was the type that crowed I'd say something like my ole bitch
Jessie held the clinic and everyone elese just showed up.Don't see alot different in the run time.I ran Friday between 4 and 5 hours and Saturday
for what 8 or 9 hours and she's almost 9 years old.She jumped or started as many rabbits as any other dog,she she might be a step slower than a few but not many that I saw and never once cruled up in the grass now I'm not saying any did that but age was a big difference there. Some might
say she ws a little lose and I'd say very little.
Now I'm not crowing,just figure my hounds to a dam good job that never get's told.That's my fault I reckon but I wanted someone elese to to crow
on them just seem's it would mean a little more.To me anyways.
Hope no one takes this anyother way than I want my hounds to get trier fair share of praise and from here on I'll be giving it!!!!!!!

Now don't get all ruffled there cuz, I was just jabbing at Don, cause I knew he would be reading. I know my junk can't run with you or JB.
I just like to spar with Don about Magnum, didn't mean to slight the rest of the dogs.

Got my first comfrimed over the pups (8 months) this weekend in KY! Wife babied these dogs while I was in Qatar and they were afraid of leaves a month ago. :oops: They were belly crawling through brush like Army commandos on Saturday.

If they didn't see the bunny they would tongue for a mile and a half while they pushed it. After we plugged the first one for them they would open up on hot trails like the rabbit was caged in front of them. Got a few more after. What a ball!! Cover was thick though and a few times the puled the rabbit back around to us and all we saw were streaks in the weeds.

I was never worried for a minute that they were too babied over. ;)

I took the dogs out for the 1st time in NC this morning. I had already killed 106 rabbits over them a couple of weeks ago on my trip to Iowa. I was by myself this morning we jumped 7 and I killed 3. Dogs jumped all of the rabbits but I had to call them off of 3 rabbits that went up next to the house. We had good running and I had decent shooting.(LOL)

crow a little about my ole potlickers.Wasn't putting nobody's hounds down,
they all did a good job I thought.I was mostly jabbing at you for the fun of it.(lol)Although I was pleased with what I saw from my hound's as well as the rest of them
