Back in the 1990's , befriended an old timer in the camp near the one I was building in North Central Pa. . Told him about an old apple orchard I found in the State forest near by. He and his buddy went there w/a couple Beagles ,and came back to show me four big old woods rabbits they got. It brought back memories of my childhood when My dad and I used to chase rabbits. Go get 'em..........oldwood

When you are 10 years old, a year is 1/10 of your life. When you are 71, like me, it is 1/71 of your life. The years go by quickly now. I'm afraid to blink, I might miss woodcock season.
Well said! There’s relativity explained.

Nate, those bunnies you have are certainly nice big fellows. And yes, last year was a bust, this year is already an improvement. I decided not to age and to go the other way. This means I will be one year younger on my next birthday.
It's really warming up here in the state of Maine even compared to most other states. Four years ago some 90" of snow was quite normal for the winter season, Got about half of that this season. Compare that to my native Georgia. Down there there were only three seasons, summer, Christmas and almost summer; that was it!

Today was better. I used proper powder!
Got above a rabbit town on a ridgeline and squealed my head off. That got them appearing from nowhere wondering what's happening.
When one buck stood up to take a look I shot aiming high to try and save the meat.

Ah! English Hares,they always remind me of the old swamp rabbits we use to hunt
These are rabbits. Our hares are larger. Longer ears with dark tips. Their habits are different too
The European brown hare.
Brit, When I lived in Lincs' I used to get some walked up Hare days.The "rule of the road" was them as shoots em carries em. One 8 or 9lb. Hare was enough for me any day, but Not seen rabbits around here for some years.. OLD DOG..
Yeach, some
Nor to many where I am so I leave them.
When I stalked deer in Scotland regularly I use to bring a blue hare home for a gent regularly too.
They are a little smaller than the brown hare.
Yeah some places are covered in them.

Boundary walk up days with a couple of spaniels and a party of 4 guns can be a good days sport for mixed game

Let's see. We have jackrabbits in the west (hares) - never lived on the left side of the Mississippi. Here in Maine we have the snowshoe hare; rabbits are protected. Don't know what else is out there in the wilds.

You noticed that too! Some days I can't find enough hours to get things done. Then I reflect back to the working days and wonder how I managed to find time. SMH
