Moose Goes to Washington
Washington County that is towards the coast of North Carolina. I left last Thursday to head down to Conman’s on Lake Phelps for some R&R and some hunting. I did a bit of rabbit hunting which I haven’t done in years it was great to hear the beagles run.
I found myself listening and laughing so much that a lot of the times I forgot I had a shotgun slung over my shoulder. I didn’t have any bunnies for the bag but I got a bunch of great memories with some great friends.
On Friday afternoon we set about 200 Swan decoys out in a wheat field and climbed into a nearby ditch and waited for the Swans. My good friend Billy and his wife Nicole and I all had tags to fill and despite a few misses at the first few birds that flew by we ended up killing 3 birds out of a 3 bird flock that came into check our decoys. Billy and I shot on the first pass dropping two of the 3 birds. Nicole got her chance when the last bird circled back around and she smoked it.
What a beautiful sight and what a great time. Saturday I watched 8 guys hunting the same setup from the afternoon before fill their tags as the swans once again cooperated the big question was would the same thing happen Monday when 20+ members from NC Deer showed up.

I love listening to a good pack of dogs singing. It’s been too many years since I ate fried bunny or bunny and dumplings, too. Thanks for sharing your hunts with us.
