Long Island Rabbit Hunt 2/04

[bellmorekennels]

Well guys got out this am for a half day hunt with guide Dennis ,from DC OUTDOORS. Hunt took place close to Riverhead, on a private farm . There was alot or rabbit sign, but rabbits were really holed up tight, maybe because of the low pressure coming in. Either way the snow was deep and had a coat of ice on it, dogs jumped about 6 rabbits, and got 1,shot and hit another, but got into a wood pile and lost him ,(hate that).

Had another that could of shot at but was not sure of distance from homes , so decided to let him go. All rabbits were goin straight to hole. As far as dog work goes, I would say ok at best.  They could hold the scent in brushy area but in the open really had tough time. All in all, was a nice day, and was glad to be out there with Dennis, he is a straight shooter and look forward to going out again.

Any body else get out today??
