Also had a young hunter along - who for his birthday told his dad he wanted to go hunting! Got to check...

After this past weekend, we can add rabbit to that list. I carried a camera and tried to do my best to get ...

In the wild - under hunting conditions I've found that primarily rabbits run...

looks like a great hunt!
