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.
