Sorry for your loss. I've had a fair number of furry hunting partners ; beagles, shorthairs, labs , and a Brittany and I know their passing, weather a champion or a knucklehead , is never without some sadness.

Thanks Marvin she will surely be missed she was my go to dog. She had a nose that you could trust 100% of the time. I actually got her for free with papers from one of the guys that I belonged to the local beagle club with. He was downsizing his kennel gave her away because she was never placing higher than second or third in trialing mainly do to the odd bark she had not her nose. She came from good lines her father was a national field champion, I never understood why the previous owner wouldn't put a little more time into her.

I know how you feel Alex, I had to have my chocolate lab put down , she was only 3 and had severe health problems, my hand was shaking badly as I wrote the check to the vet.

Drew we still on for this Saturday?

I talked to Drew this morning he is in for this Saturday if there is an interest, lets try to get a head count going.

Sorry for your loss it's tuff when it come's time to make that decision.

Maybe I'll hook up with you guys one of these weekends since I won't be able to attend Shawns hunt this weekend, when is your next hunt?

Thanks we are trying to get something for this Saturday, Drew has a spot with a lot of rabbits . We hunted there a few weeks ago and had action all day.

Is there a hunt this Saturday at Drews ? I was going to Double T Trad shoot but I'll skip it Sat and go Sunday instead if there's going to be another hunt.I had a great time at the last gathering and would like to see you fellas again. Perhaps we'll hear about Drew's trip too.

Marvin there will be a hunt on Saturday if there is enough interest. I texted Drew this morning and he said he is into it.

Its a go for saturday if we get some guys wanting to hunt.

Looks like no interest and to be honest if its as cold tommorow as it was today it would be tough to stay out .

ok thanks Drew.

I can't make it tomorrow , but would like to get out one last time before the season ends with all the guys.

I would enjoy another walk in the wood with you guys too. I hope we get it... my fingers are crossed!

I would like to make plans to go on Sat.  for some bunnies. We need Drews approval and the gang and houndsmen to show up. Anyone want to try???

Next Sat. will be out for me as I have already made plans with our church. Good luck guy's  

Alex????? Drew????? Jim C????? David????? Marv???? Brian????? Bob????? Larry????? Newbies ?????

I'm in Gerald, this will be the last weekend of the season,so it's this Sat. or wait till next season! Now that we have hunted Drew's dad's property, I think we can organize a better hunt. Jim N. has plans, but if Alex can bring one or two dogs that's all we need to move the rabbits. I'm thinking if we send watchers out and have them get into position "quietly", and then follow with the dogs, we should be able to put some bunnies in front of some bows. We could have done better the last hunt if we had curtailed the talking. The rabbits were avoiding us because they could hear exactly where we were. Those bunnies have big ears for a reason. I was just as guilty as everyone else with all the talking we did, but if we really want to get some bunnies, we need to hunt them like we're hunting Whitetails- seriously! JM2c

We will all have plenty of time to talk after the runs.

Let's get em guys!!!!        

I can hunt this Saturday Gerald.

I'm in Gerald! And I'm serious David!
