[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1828437, member: 40587"] This weekend was the beagles' turn. Scott was just not able to walk much at all, so he decided not to hunt this weekend. So, I took Zeke with me, and we used the Ranger. Zeke just doesn't ride well enough to do it horseback. I figured I would have enough on my hands keeping him safe with a gun, to be fooling with a horse, too. We took 3 each on the morning hunt, and another 3 each on the afternoon hunt. A little cold, but clear and no wind. So many rabbits, that the dogs would be on one and jump another one or two during the chase. They'd get a little bumfuzzled, but put those noses down and work it out like a good hound should. We mostly worked up and down the creek that morning, and I never saw a coyote track. None at the pond or the beaver pond , either. Plenty of fox tracks., and 2 different bob cats, but no yotes. I think all those years of Corriente momma cows with calves, has pretty much caused the yotes to just write this place off. A lot of our pack is out of a 3/4 beagle 1/4 foxhound bitch we had. A rabbit hunting fool. Little bit longer legged than a beagle, and a little bit deeper voice. These offspring of hers are 7/8th beagle, but still got the legs their momma has. The way these dogs hunted Saturday, Warren Buffet wouldn't have enough money to buy them! After lunch we saddled up and rode across the road to check on the cows. Zeke is way too excited about Gail's calf, which should be here in about 2 weeks or so. So I told him" Rope her and we will carry her back up to the pasture at your house." So, he took out his rope, and started walking his horse over to Gail, who just stood there watching them. He had the rope figure 8-ed about twice around himself when he got up to her. Gail and the horse just stood there, about to go to sleep, while Zeke fooled with trying to get his rope coiled up right so he could get a loop on her. He finally got off the horse, and straightened his rope out on the ground, then coiled it back, then got back on his horse. He missed the throw. He did this twice more, and the last time he was on the ground fixing his loop, he just walked over to her and put it over head, like you were placing a collar on a horse or mule! He got back on, and we walked Gail up the road to Zeke's house. The couple that so generously bought the calf will be down in Dec 21st to visit us all, and I hope she has had it by then. He wanted to bring his steer back too, but I told him we'd leave him with the other cows, til Gail has her baby, then we would bring him back once the baby was a few weeks old. I had a great supper last night: Fried rabbit, mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, with the last fresh tomatoes and some Vidalia onion. [/QUOTE]
