Bad repurcussions

I swear, I- didn't do it

	We hunters have all experianced bad consequences...ranging from getting yelled at to worms. What have yours been?

	So far I haven't gotten sick from anything I've hunted, and Mom usually doesn't yell at me. My Aunty Shannon yelled when I put my kill across her office threshold for her. She didn't think almost stepping on a dead squirrel was fun! Ingrate! Mom did yell at me yesterday, but I wasn't hunting, just scavenging: I found a dead animal at the park and I was quietly checking it out in the bushes. Then Mom called so I brought it with me. When she saw me bringing something dead -- she thought it was a rabbit -- out of the bushes Mom told me to drop it, but no way was I going to do that, so Mom came and got me. She yelled at me because I wouldn't "leave it" and then when she saw that instead of it being a rabbit it was a cat, she was grossed out. Why is it okay to eat a rabbit but not a cat? It's not like I killed the neighbor's kitty (although believe me, if I get a chance, that little rascal is going down) -- it was already dead. Later she let me chase jackrabbits, so that was cool. I could probably catch one if they didn't get such a big head start. Gotta work on my technique.

	OOOOhhh..I’ve still never seen a jackrabbit. Mom says they’re huge and she caught one when she was 6 (apparently she sat really still in her granny’s driveway with lettuce and waited till it came to her. Then since she was feeding it, it was happy to follow her into granny’s house. Granny freaked out). I dunno why we can’t get cats. Mom’s the same way. Bunnies are fine. Squirrels are fine. Mice are fine. But no cats?!? Snakes are bad too, but they eat really fast….like spaghetti. I had worms when I came to my home from my feral days. I also get yelled at for bringing my kill in my house (mom flipped when I threw a mouse butt at her) or for going after the neighbors cat or anything Mom deems “too big” for me to take on…like raccoons, possums, deer, horses…

	Jackrabbits are a lot bigger than cotton tails. And they have superlong ears and legs. The ears are the problem: I can see those ears sticking up from way far away, and I start running for the jackrabbit. Then the jackrabbit sees me, and even though I think I'm a little faster, it's too far away for me to make up the ground. What I need to do is be a little more patient, like I am with squirrels. I need to sneak up a lot closer so they don't see me before I get close enough. I can be really quiet when I want to. Mom calls me "stealth dog" sometimes. My Mom is like your mom: she won't let me go after the possums that come and sit on my fence sometimes. But one of these days I'm going to get one. They're not very smart: sometimes they let their long ugly tails hang down on my side of the fence, and one of these days I'm going to grab it and pull that stupid possum right off the fence! I've never seen a deer. Are they fun to hunt?

	they are awefully big...and fast. They are fun to hunt down because there are soooo many all at once. I imagine if I ever got close enough it would be like when I went after the horse and it tried to kick me (I was just too fast).
