A Match made in Heaven?
She's a vegetarian. He's a hunter. You would think the two of them would never work - but, surprisingly, here they were on the dance floor sharing their first dance as husband and wife. I was intrigued. Of the two people mentioned above, I only know the vegetarian - and, honestly, I don't know her very well.  I was still intrigued, though, and not because she's a vegetarian - anyone w...
First signs of Fall
As I walked behind the mower last week, I saw them - brown, green, crisp and dead - laying there in the mower's path; they were the first visible signs that fall is almost upon us. I realize that Labor Day isn't even here yet, but the dead leaves laying in the yard, the yellowing of the beans and corn, as well as the lower morning temps, are a sure sign that fall will be here soon. This time...
Abby’s first trip to the Zoo
With summer winding down, and hunting season close to kicking into full gear, the wife and I really wanted to do one last - purely for Abby - activity.   Then, one night while reading one of her favorite books, I instantly knew where we were heading - the zoo. Abby loves to read books involving animals, and she loves to name the animals as we read through the books.  She loves all the animal...
Moving stands, checking cams: No outfitter needed!
When I'm watching outdoor television, there is nothing that gets under my skin more than hearing the person in front of the camera say something like this: "Well......we're on our way to Battle Creek Outfitters to hunt for a few days. Jim, of BC Outfitters, has been watching a few bucks during the year, so hopefully we'll have a chance at one of them in the next few days. We're gonna get a sh...
The Aftermath
It rained on July 4th. And while the rain was a welcome relief to the retreating soldiers, as well as the victorious ones, it was not welcomed by the local residents of the little Pennsylvania town.  It came down in sheets, soaking the unburied bodies still on the field - some with hands folded, and others with clenched fists; it inhibited the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat across the Pot...

Jeff Kills Rabbits, I Hibernate

Posted By: Arthur on December 28, 2009 in Hunting, Rabbit - Comments: 2 Comments »

Well kind of.

I did head outside on Christmas Eve; I managed to drive Jeff’s snowmobile around the yard a few times (he will not send me the picture he took, though, because he probably doesn’t want evidence on the site that I was actually outside; it would ruin a post he wanted to write).  I don’t own a snowmobile, so I have to ride others when I get the chance, and it was fun.  We don’t have a ton of snow left down here, but it didn’t stop us from riding around the yard a few times on the sled. I almost killed myself, but that is another story.

Jeff went rabbit hunting yesterday morning, with two other guys, and one of them managed to do something none of us have ever done before:  limit out on rabbits.  Between three of them they shot 11 rabbits.  I don’t think we’ve ever shot that many rabbits in one outing, no matter how many hunters were in the hunting party.  Apparently it was a perfect morning to chase the four-legged snow hoppers.

And me?  Well, besides the brief snowmobiling incident, I’ve been hibernating.  I’ve managed to head outside a few times – to shovel snow and play with the dog – but other than that my outdoor adventures have been pretty non-existent.  And Jeff hasn’t really appreciated that and even threatened to write a post about my lack of outdoor activity (which is why he won’t send me the snowmobile picture; it would ruin his credibility…hehe).

And I would have been fine with that.

We had three Christmas celebrations in the last four days, and with my wife actually having some time off as well, I chose to hang out indoors with them, rather than head out for the rabbit hunt yesterday morning.  We have a rabbit hunt planned for this Saturday, though, and I’m looking forward to it.

The first part of this week will be spent with little Abby, so no outdoor activity this week either.  But come this weekend I promise to have a post that includes pictures of me in the woods…..otherwise Jeff might kick me out of the group.

And we can’t have that now can we?

  1. Sometimes it’s best just to hang out. We did that all day Saturday and most of Sunday. Feels good!
