Abbey scratched and scratched and scratched at the door until I let her out into the snow. She had a blast. She didn't want to come in.
"It's late," I said. "I have to go to work in the morning."
She wouldn't come in. She was "hunting rabbits," she told me. Not on my watch. I had to lure her back in with a frozen steak and a promise to let her sleep in the freezer tonight.
last morning run before we head to the airport in Brisbane. we decided to go to the stanthorp showgrounds instead of the park and wow was this fun!
Seneca Caverns is a show cave located in northeastern Seneca County, Ohio, United States, just outside of Flat Rock. The cave is designated as a Registered Natural Landmark by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
The cave was discovered in June 1872 by two boys named Peter Rutan and Henry Homer while they were hunting rabbits with their dog. The dog chased a rabbit into a brush pile, where they then disappeared. While searching through the brush pile, the two boys found an opening, fell through it, and landed in the first level of the cave, where they found their dog. The boys returned home and told everyone about their discovery. The cave became known as Good's Cave, named for Emmanuel Good, the owner of the farm on which the cave was located.
In 1931, Don Bell, a lawyer from Bellevue, discovered a series of passageways and rooms in the cave which led to an underground river, called Ole' Mist'ry River, which is part of the vast groundwater system that underlies the surrounding region. After two and a half years of improvement effort, the cave was renamed Seneca Caverns and opened to the public on May 14, 1933.

The ferret is a domesticated mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Ferrets are sexually dimorphic predators with males being substantially larger than females. They typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur. They have an average length of 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail, weigh about 1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg), and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.[1]
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals, but it is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are kept simply as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of polecat-ferret hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.

Range from a 13 mm Anti Tank bullet, .303 Arms to ..22 from locals hunting rabbits in years gone by.
There is one silver .303, not sure what that was used for. Lot's of .303 shells that are corroding from the salt in the area.
A couple of bent .303 bullets that hit something very hard.
Most of these are from around WWII.

There are baby rabbits on the other side of this fence. I *really* hope they stay on that side of the fence; Kailey is in full hunter mode.

Endless Caverns is a commercial show cave located three miles south of New Market, Virginia. The cave was discovered in October, 1879 by two boys who were hunting rabbits on the farm of Ruben Zirkle. Not long after the discovery, the Zirkles began doing candle lit tours through the cave. In 1919, the cave was bought by Colonel E.T. Brown, who had the cave fully wired and lights installed. Endless Caverns opened to the public as a show cave on August 14, 1920. The present mapped extent of the cave is six miles, making Endless Caverns one of the larger caves in Virginia.

My photo on the left. Thaddeus Welch's painting on the right. There is a slight difference in the trees, but I believe that this is what Steep Ravine looked like in the 1900s. The painting actually shows more of the main road off to the viewers left. I'll know better when I see the painting itself. But- the bunnies are still there. There is now a camping area in those trees, with a lovely view of the California Coast.
Ever since my husband and I have gone camping at Steep Ravine, I've been intrigued with the name of one of the cabins, "Thaddeus Welch". I learned that Welch was a painter and he and his wife Ludmilla Pilat Welch (also a painter) lived and painted at Steep Ravine. They hiked out to get supplies, but basically were self-subsistent. Thaddeus was a very interesting fellow: he came from Indiana on a wagon train as a young child, found work as a "tramp" printer, newspaperman, and finally a painter of some of early California's most beautiful landscapes. He met Ludmilla when she was 16. They fell in love, and apparently had a wonderful life in art together.

I’m just in a long line with others.. {June 14// 149}
This song pulls heart strings from my 20s.
Matthew Good - While we were hunting rabbits.
Buy in it’ll shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
We’ve brought you someone in to shut you up
It’s a life’s work
While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
And I dance, and I sing
And I’m a monkey in a long line
Buy in it should shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
They’ve brought someone in to shut you up
And it’s getting to be light work
While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
And the sky the stars like fortune filled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
And I dance and I sing
And I’m a monkey in a long line of kings
And we dance and we sing
And we’re all monkeys in a long line
I’m just a boat on the ocean
And I’m just a ship lost at sea.
Maya Painted Bowl showing men hunting rabbits with blow guns. While hunting was a part of daily life, the pair are prbably either Hunahpú and Xbalanqué, or Hun Hunahpú and Vucub Hunahpú, the mythical god/hero founders of several Maya royal as recounted in the Popol Vuh. Both pairs of twins were great blow-gun hunters and their names derive from the Yucatec word for blow gun. Classical, 650 AD -950 AD. Museo de Antropologia e Historia. Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.

My neighbor is a falconer and this is his captive bred Finnish Goshawk. She's a beauty. They had just come back from hunting rabbits.
Merely a part of some vast ecosystem occluded by the marble and sorrow, these burrowers are prized game for the higher mammals and avian predators which frequent the bulkheaded shorelines of the Newtown Creek. It is difficult, with modern eyes, to imagine the world of the unspoiled Creek.
Once, this was part of a rich swampy marshland, and abundant game and wildlife drew sportsmen from the great cities of Brooklyn and Manhattan for hunting and fishing to the rural extants of the Newtown Creek. Nearby, aboriginal tribes of Lenape (the Maspeatche) made their camps near Mt. Zion cemetery and when the europeans came- great hunting lodges and hotels were erected along its banks to service the tourist trade from the two island cities. That was before the industries, before the Rural Cemeteries Act, and before the 800 pound gorilla came to town.
from wikipedia:
Jugged Hare (known as civet de lièvre in France), is a whole hare, cut into pieces, marinated and cooked with red wine and juniper berries in a tall jug that stands in a pan of water. It traditionally is served with the hare’s blood (or the blood is added right at the very end of the cooking process) and Port wine.
Jugged Hare is described in the influential 18th century cookbook, The Art of Cookery by Hannah Glasse, with a recipe titled, “A Jugged Hare,” that begins, “Cut it into little pieces, lard them here and there….” The recipe goes on to describe cooking the pieces of hare in water in a jug that it set within a bath of boiling water to cook for three hours. Beginning in the nineteenth century, Glasse has been widely credited with having started the recipe with the words “First, catch your hare,” as in this citation. This attribution is apocryphal.

Being a wild kid is fun
because I can jump from
tree to tree,
swing from vine,
loving hunting rabbits,
trust in having fun.
Now, we had the two Dunes done, we now just had to re-visit Bishop Middleham once more to see if the Dark Red were open. I hoped they would be.
It was a half hour drive, back along the A1 through Newcastle and Gateshead, coupled with major roadworks, which made for difficult driving, but with the sun out if was pleasant enough. Into County Durham, and off the Great North Road, through some villages, past the huge quarry, through Bishop Middleham and to the disused quarry. Only to find ten cars parked on the narrow road, we just manage to find a space to park, grab our cameras and walk in.
I go straight to the edge of the quarry and look down, once again hoping to see a sea of red from the orchids: I think I see one flowering spike, so I give Jools the thumbs up. She smiles. I hope.
Down the steep steps and onto the floor of the quarry; around there are groups of two of three people looking at the plants and butterflies; they seem to have at least one guide with them. But we know our quarry in the quarry, and so go to where they are thickest. I am stunned to find either spikes not yet in flower, or worse, spikes that have been nibbled by rabbits.
I walk round increasingly desperate: this was supposed to be the slam dunk site: we knew this site, and where the orchids were. In the end we find a handful of flowering spikes, all I have to do now is wait for the sunshine.
Minutes dragged on, maybe 15 minutes, until the big dark cloud above us cleared, and the old quarry was bathed in warm sunshine. I get the shots I wanted, all in glorious sunshine, making the colours of the orchids so vivid.
After chatting with a local man, and showing him the orchids, he then points us to movement on the side of the quarry: a polecat was hunting rabbits and coming out of a rabbit hole and disappearing into another. One more highlight for our trip, but I don’t try to photograph it. It was too far away.
