Charlie ,sounds like a Great day out ,I remember when I was a Boy ,my Dad had Beagles ,One in particular was quite special her name was Cleo ,my Dad loved that little Dog ,and would often carry her home at the end of the day , I am not sure maybe that is the only way she would give up on those Bunnies and go home ! There were no Parker's at our house growing up ,Savages , Springfields and an Old Model 37 12 Gauge was my Pride and Joy when I was finally old enough to carry a gun ,it was my Grand Pap's Gun and he had already passed away by the time I was 12 ! I can still hear Cleo Barking and Howling while she circled the Rabbits , Dad shot a Model 24 ,22 Mag.over 20 Gauge ,if the Rabbit was hopping and sitting he would shoot the Magnum 22 and if Cleo was fast on it he would shoot the 20 ! The Old 24 sits in my Gun safe waiting for another Beagle ,I suppose I should consider it ! Great Story Charlie brought back some good memories !
