We did it! Tom and myself and our beagles finally bagged a bunny. It was very, very cold this morning - what the heck were we thinking. We must be possessed on getting out into the outdoors.
Even though the weather was very cold, we saw quite a few rabbits. I think we saw more rabbits today than we did the whole season last year. With the deeper snow and plenty of hiding spots the rabbits were not running much, in fact they were running directly to holes. Was it to get out of the cold or away from the trailing beagles? I doubt the later, the beagles were having a difficult time scenting. I hope it was because of the weather.
