Wednesday with Cisco

Cisco is on the same roll as last year. Hope he is not injured later... We hunted for an hour or two with good participation from Arnold the dog.

It's the remnants of a rodent bite that periodically pops up, festers some, and heals up again. Arnold the dog was great, and really worked with Cisco in the woods.    Cisco caught one cottontail each in Amarillo and Abilene and he caught some birds and a cotton rat or two.

Here a picture of Cisco eating the head in a refuse pile. He was spooked and flew a few feet when Rob Palmer came around the corner. Cisco has been catching birds too, with five this morning while rabbit hunting....I took him off squirrels for a while because of an abrasion on his toe.   Farrah has also been catching birds...
