Last Hunt at GG's

 Sorry for the Sideways Video!!

There is a little patch of very bunny infested brush I have hunted year after year. It's on private land, that I have always referred to as the "Gay Guys" place . . . because there were two guys that lived there. They were always kind and let me fly a bird in their back brushy spot which is just lousy with rabbits. Some days I would take home a prize, and sometimes not. Just depended on the quality of the hawk I was flying.

Sadly, two years ago they sold their home and moved away. It was sold to a development firm, so I just knew it would eventually all come to an end, and some stupid shopping strip or apartment complex would take its place. Well, this fall I noticed the house and dilapidated barn were gone. Surely, by Spring, the brushy rabbit hotel will be next. On a Sunny Saturday, the last day in January of 2026, I flew CT over the patch. We moved about half a dozen bunnies under the brush and snow. At the end of the field she scored one of them. That's one less bunny that will get "Watership Downed" when the tractors come to their doorstep. 

As the sun was setting for the day, it was also a sunset for this hunting spot.

As the human population continues to grow, the spaces in between where animals find refuge increasingly get razed. 

I try to appreciate them while they last.
