id love to hunt with some beagles. saturday was our opener...5 of us got together to do some brush bustin for rabbits and pheasants...ended up with 5 in an afternoon...2 of which were mine..and i got a squirrel lol. put out a couple more we didnt get...i only missed one and still cannot believe i missed. wide open woods...running dead away from me..pulled up..POW..buddy fired at the same exact time i did(it was safe for both of us to shoot) his pattern was right in there too...got there...no bunny...someone said they watched it run through the woods...bust flush all day and we both missed we were nearly to the truck...last brushpile we had...jumped on 30 other ones and didnt even have any come out...i wasnt expecting him to hide in the last one lol...

this winter the farmer trimmed his tree line and we spent a couple days making brushpiles out of the pine trees...the whole 300yd field edge is a giant brushpile now...im guessing they have holes in the brushpiles...but it will definently help the population in the long run...if we cant get them, neither can the foxes and yotes! but the rest of the woods and pasture weve noticed the numbers are already better than ever..i really think the brushpiles helped..

fun stuff..maybe do the same tomarrow...though im still cut up and digging thorns from my body from last week
