Me showing the last two rabbits taken for the 2002 season to the hounds

Chip enjoying a well deserved rabbit head......yummy!

John with his fifth rabbit of the day which is the limit in Indiana.

Steven and John with the rabbits they shot during the days hunt.

This is a photo of a DNR officer that wrote me a ticket. He could have given me a warning but decided the state needed the money. I had hunter orange on, just not enough to satisfy him.

Steven a rabbit and Red & Buddy

John showing a rabbit to Rita, Red, Comet, Chip, Holly, Spike, Lace & Buddy

A very cold start to the morning and the camera isn't happy about it! Around 3 degrees.

This is a snake we came across while hunting. As you can see the ground was covered in snow and this particular spot is on the edge of a swamp. We have no idea why or for how long it has been there.

A Muskrat swimming in the creek.

Talk about some tough briers!! That is Lace's own blood she is covered in. She actually lost so much that I wound up putting her in my game pouch on my coat and carrying her back to the truck.

Whoever said that rabbits don't grow on trees has never hunted with us!!!

Steven and I with nine rabbits from the days outing. Temp was around 20 degrees and we had snow on the ground, made for some great sounding runs!

Steven was actually stuck in the briers when I took this photo of him! OUCH!!!

My fifth rabbit of the day (the limit in Indiana). Hopefully the next time they take my photo they'll get the bag I carry the camera in out of the way!

The blood all over Chip is his own from working and running in the briers all day! Notice Spikes bloody tail, that's how all of the dogs tails looked!
