It's taken me a week to get an update on the latest hunt but I have finally gotten a minute to sit down and relax. LAST weekend Eric and Scott made the drive for another hunt. We got right into the rabbits but this particular section was very difficult to get good shots off. Very thick with small trees and brush. You could see glimpses of the rabbits but very little opportunities for good shots. In all total we moved about 9 or 10 bunnies but only ended up with 5. We could have added a pheasant to the bag BUT...... Well.... you know.... Scott.....
After the hunt my wife made rabbit pot pie for us for the first time, and boy that was good. I've ate rabbit a zillion different ways over the years and I gotta say I think that is the best.
As I said in an earlier post I might just get Eric to clean all the game and I could just sit back and have a cold one. Well I got him there. My son in law Nick showed up and ended up helping out but for the most part Eric's got it figured out.
During the rabbit cleaning I offered up a one dollar bet that I could clean one quicker than Eric and Nick both. I got mine done in 2.43 and they got theirs done in just over 2 minutes flat. I guess I taught them to well!
I'm looking forward to the next hunt which I hope will be in the next week or two.
On a side note.
My son in law Nick has started hunting this year. I took him deer hunting and rabbit hunting a few times. Any ways one day several weeks back he calls and says he shot a bunny and wants my help cleaning him. Well he brings this poor rag of guts down and I ask him ("what happened to it?")
He told me that he shot the thing and just to make sure it was dead, shot it again at "POINT BLANK RANGE" ,,,,, with a 12 gauge. Needless to say my daughter Val told him that he would need a few more before she could make a meal out of what little was left. I guess Scott will have to show Nick the finer points of the neck twist....
