I took Zoie out hunting for the first time in almost 3 months, It was probably to warm as nothing was stirring. A friend said he would show me a rabbit field that only recently he and another guy had seen a number of rabbits in. unknowingly i have been in this field before with the dogs , there is no rabbit sign of any kind in this part of the land i have access too. I don't think Zoie would have been able to catch anything even if there was anything. She was understandably unfit. She eventually flew to my fist and didn't bate once whilst i carried her back to the truck. I have a new telescopic pole for my T-Perch which seemed to work with Zoie allot better as i could get her higher to about 20 feet, She was far more content to sit on it ( but that could have been down to the lack of conditioning). I'll hunter for a few more weeks and then call it quits for the season.

I got a chance to wear my rattler chaps for the first time. These are awesome. climbing through brush was not a probable for the first time as brambles, wild rose and thorns where just brushed aside.

Lilly is coming along nicely but took her to the vet on Friday to be wormed and inoculated. She has a very bad outbreak of Tape Worm and still wasn't putting any weight on. Hopefully this will have broke that cycle and we will be free from it. She is also coming when called and walking nicely. I've been teaching her "woah" and working on her retrieval skills.
