A GREAT DAY ON THE ALLEGHENY HIGH PLATEAU.

A GREAT DAY ON THE HIGH PLATEAU of the ALLEGHENY!

FOUR HUNTERS VENTURE FORTH AND COME HOME SUCCESSFUL. 

• Saturday, December 15, 2018 was a great day to be hunting on the High Plateau for the elusive eastern cottontail.

• Four hunters, Wayne, Brady, William and the High HareMan ventured forth.

• Seven (7) hounds made up the pack which chased the many rabbits up with skill and enthusiasm.

• Wayne's four (4) hounds included; Freck, Duggan, Shamus and Reba.

• The High HareMan's three (3) hounds were Sammie, Hollie and Sidney.

• The beagles did an outstanding job.

• After several chases, a change of location and great work by the beagles, William scored.

• Sammie got to William's rabbit first but only damaged one hind leg.

• Enough rabbit was salvaged to be added to one of grandma's glorious rabbit pit pies.

At the end of the day the hunters take a break on the tailgate. L-R Brady, William and Wayne.

William (R) and Brady exit the thick cover with Williams kill (harvest). The six hounds performed flawlessly with the rabbit trying every trick in his book.

The entrails and the hide were gifted to the coyotes, raptors and any other varmint needing a handout.
