Log Day 50

Not much to report except that Jonathan and his bird scored rabbit number 5 yesterday!!!! Big congrats to both of them for being out their handleing their business! Dee weighed 1074 grams yesterday at noon, and then 1045 grams around seven in the evening. Was busy takin care of a bunch of stuff yesterday, so we where not able to make it out hunting, so I used this opportunity to work on her lure response in the dark. Cut all the lights, and then illuminated the garnished lure with a pen light. After a little hesitation, she hopped down there and started eating. I then called her up to the fist for a quail leg, and that was about it. Fed her up to 1098 grams....she did pretty well considering this was the first time she had done this. I will probably do this a few more times over the next couple days, and will try and remember to end each hunting session with this activity . I don't plan on needing to call her down in the dark, but it will be nice knowing that I can if the situation arises. It's freakin 60 degrees outside, which is keeping the weight on her, but hopefully she will be at weight after she casts, and we can head out for some hawkin this afternoon.
