Hunting Snipe with Bones!

It was an awesome opening day! We decided to hunt snipe cause we knew that we would get a lot of shooting and that's what we wanted for Bones first trip out! Unfortunately, Bones also just got the big snip, (he is now an it) so, we didn't want to overdo it. Rebel doesn't really care for snipe, so he stayed home. (we did make sure that there was nothing available for him to chew up while we were gone, cause he can be kind of vindictive!)
The shooting was great and in just a couple hours we were able to harvest 14 snipe! Bones did well and really got into it!
Here we are with one of "his" birds!
Most of the retrieves were in the tall marsh grass. This one was pretty easy for him since it landed in the dry grass.
All three of us and our birds!
Bones was badly in need of a bath!!!

I had to throw this picture in cause it makes me laugh. We have a kitty bed (don't ask why!!!) and Rebel insists that he fits! He tries to lay in it constantly and you can see how well it works out for him!

How fun! I would love to take Shylo snipe hunting - she would LOVE it. P.S. Have you thought about investing in a bed like that but in Rebel's size?? :) What a cutie.
