Pulled in to the pull off. Lanny had his dog ready, Danny and Craig put the gear on theirs. (No shock collar on Mercy). Dogs found a dead rabbit in the brush by the pull off, was hit by a brush hog. Dogs started a small rabbit, I saw a quick glimpse of it, but no shot. Dean shot at it and it squealed, but couldn't find it. The dogs came in and the rabbit jumped up from under a log. The dogs got on it, fought for it. Dean got them off from it. Heard some hounds out on Peanut Dam Road, so we picked up and moved. Went to the Iron Gate. Worked for a long time before we got a rabbit going. Mercy was very mouthy. The other dogs stopped honoring her. Danny put her in the box. Crossed the road and went down the log road into the old clear cut. Dogs got one going. They were coming towards me, I shot at a small rabbit (and missed), which ended up being a stray. I stayed where I was. Dogs circled back again. Rabbit came down towards me. I waited for it to go across the log road. I shot missed, reloaded the single shot 20 gauge and got off another shot, missed again. It ran back down in the clear cut and Dean shot it. Made our way back toward the truck, slow running, and the dogs got one going. Bob was very mouthy and all over the place made for a long tiring run. Never knew if Bob was just barking or actually running. Lanny shot the the rabbit.
