Over the years I have enjoyed hunting with dogs. You can be a good with a shotgun but if you don’t see or flush game the only thing you’re doing is saving on the cost of shells. My fun with dog hunting started out with accompanying friends who had beagles for rabbit hunting. Man what a blast that was and if the bunnies were out the action was continuous. Just the sound of beagles howling on a scent got your adrenaline flowing in preparation for shooting any ground pounders or fly-bys. Yes fly-by shooting can happen.
One time I had a cottontail pushed by me doing something I’ve never seen before. He stopped running and began making sizeable leaps from one side to the other. He was probably trying to confuse his pursuers who were going by scent. Anyway on his 4th or 5th leap I tagged him in mid air.
Yeah my hunting partners thought I was full of it too when I told them what happened until I showed them the rabbit’s foot print patterns in the snow to back my story. Afterwards we all had a good laugh over the incident about the bunny that tried short flight to escape.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
