Minnow Pond Hunt

I have some friends that have a deer hunting club in Blount County. They invited us to hunt there once deer season was over. The hunting club has dried up minnow ponds all over it with briars so thick that you can not walk through them. We went there 2 weeks ago, with an outdoor temperature at 70 degrees and rain on the way. Several from the hunting club came out to hunt with me and Hogie. Dogs ran great that day, but we only had one bunny to show for it. I was the lucky one to take the kill. There is one bunny that I want to share it's story with you... in one of the minnow ponds is an underground pipe that goes from the pond to a road. Hank jumped the rabbit, and lost it really quick. Hogie noticed that Hank was around the pipe, we found where the pipe came out on the road, called the dogs and they picked up the track, the dogs ran for a while and then bottom fell out of the sky. The rain caused the rabbit to survive another day. No pictures to share, but we had a great time and was invited to come back.
