RE: Wabbits
ChessBum, Wasset Wounds make great rabbit dogs...as long as you're not in a hurray. I'm a nut for rabbit hunting...and one of my buddies has a basset. He's the funniest damn thing I ever saw. He'll strike a trail, run a few feet, stop, look around, and howl so loud his front feet come off the ground. He's slow, but he gets the job done.
By the way, I managed to kill a cottontail with my recurve this morning. It's my last day to hunt...so it was a nice way to end the season.
