My good friend Todd Pounds, my son Renzy and I met up in the MS Delta for what turned out to be a fun filled all day adventure that almost left us all crippled from all the walking we did:D We dropped the tailgate about 7am and hunted HotRod, Todd's dog Dell that is a older half sister to HotRod and Todd's pup BeBe that is out of Dell and Brent Woods' Dagger dog. It didn't take long the way Dell and HotRod were pushing each other before we were DEEP in there. We had a real good hunt but the squirrels shut down on us by 10am so we headed for the truck. I had a hamburger calling my name somewhere by that point!
We had sat down to eat at Chuck's Dairy Bar in Rolling Fork, MS when low and behold my ol' buddy Tony Holeman Jr. walked in. We ended up eating with him and 3 of his buddies (I'm horrible with names, sorry). Tony and crew had drawn for a duck hunt that morning and were about to head for a little evening bunny hunting and asked if we wanted to join them. We decided that would be a great way to kill some time between squirrel hunts so we loaded up and headed off. We barely got the beagles out of the truck and the HUNT was on! Five rabbits, one bobcat and one wild housecat later we were back on the road headed for the squirrel woods.
Those young Mountain Curs had been resting all afternoon and they were ready to go when we cut them loose! They had the first squirrel treed 1/2 a mile in the woods before we got our guns out of the truck
It was on as fast and hard as we could go from there for the final 45 minutes of shooting light. I don't think any of us were ever so proud to see our trucks again! We were one tired bunch! We probably looked more like a bunch of mad escapees from the local nursing home that three squirrel hunters. Anyway, we had a great time and Renzy and I topped it off with crab legs at a all you can eat seafood buffet on the way home. ;D Here's a couple pictures I took.
I wish I would have gotten some of the rabbit hunt but we left Tony and crew while they were still hunting. Also, I didn't get any of Todd's pup but she sure did real good! Especially that evening.
