This morning after a quick stop at the rifle range to sight in my new deer rifle, I met up with my friend Ty to run some rabbits. His two dogs did not take too long in awakening the bunnies that were making the standing corn field their home for the past several months. It did take Roxie awhile to join the howling duet. But, after a very short time we had a bunny chasing threesome. We did not shoot any rabbits today, but a good time was had by all.
This evening I tried a little walleye fishing after dark. It took a little while for me to make the necessary adjustments to get into the fish catching game. I knew the fish were there and active by the actions of the other fisherman. Once I figured out the technique it was quite easy. Almost all of the fish were sauger and the size was not great, but I was releasing all fish that I caught anyhow. The amount of bait fish in the bay I was fishing was just incredible. The surface of the whole bay was just teaming with emerald shiners!
