A Good Day Was Had

[airedale]

Harleigh my Airedale and I hit the timber this afternoon to see what we could come up with, she treed two Squirrels but I gave them a pass as I have a few in the freezer now. She flushed a Hare out from under a windfall but I was on the wrong side and could not get a shot off. Harleigh trailed for a bit but she is far from being a rabbit-hare dog and lost it, she just does not have the nose power like a good Beagle. Even though we came home empty handed we had a good time.

Stopped at the mailbox and found a prize I had ordered, a primitive knapped knife made by flint knapper Tony Stanfield, I have always wanted one of these for my collection and finally I bit the bullet and got one. This thing is very nice and very sharp, would have no problem field dressing and skinning a Deer.
