We finally got the hounds out for a rabbit hunt today. We sure had a blast and my son shot his first rabbit today. Grandpa was there with us too so it was pretty cool. Grandpa just put together an old JC Higgins that has been sittin in a garage for a while. It doesnt look like much but it sure is accurate.
There where plenty of rabbits to run today. The poor dogs have been sleepin since we got back but I think they had more fun than the rest of us if thats possible. The brush is very thick so there isnt alot of shooting but it is a great place for the dogs to run them. Here are some pics from today.
Proud hunter.

This one was more or less a rescue pup. She isnt much of a hunter but she is too sweet to leave behind. She is a great dog and loves her new home.

Cool! I can tell your son had a great time. Looks like the hounds are ready to go at it again too.

The smartest dog we ever had was a rescued dog.

That is one happy kid!!!! Looks ilike you guys had a fine day out and about - and I'm with Life - my two dogs are both rescued and I wouldn't trade them for anything..

Great job Mike! Looks like you guys had a good time.

reminds me of my first rabbit when i was a young pup like 7 years ago lol

Fantastic! Nice to see you guys are passing on the passion to the next generation! Tell your son Congrats!

Looks like a great day and good memories!
