Alex's first kill

What seemed to be a not so good hunting day, turned into the best hunt ever. This mornings group was Hogie, Randy, Justin Butts, Terry, Josh, Alex and me. Woke up with high expectations after Thursday's big hunt. Alex was fired up too, up early waiting on me. We met at Josh's house around 8:45, frost was still on the ground. Turn the dogs out. The dogs could never hook up on a rabbit. After about 2 hours, we decided to call it a day. Alex did not want to go home so soon. Alex, Terry and I went to one of our other honey holes to hunt. We unloaded the dogs, went to an area where you could see signs of cane cutters (bark chewed off saplings). Hank jumped, carried it a little ways, but the dogs still could not carry the rabbit. Walked further down. Hank jumped and finally hooked a small cotton tail. They carried the rabbit over a ridge and brought it back. ALEX TOOK THE KILL!!!!!!! I was so proud of Alex for his first kill. He was smiling from ear to ear.

Dog food - $30
Dog kennel - $1000
Dogs - $$$$$
Alex's first kill - PRICELESS










Congratulations to Hogie on his 2nd buck he killed. This one was a nice looking 7pt.
