“The joy of rabbit hunting is that it is not life or death. It’s a relief to spend the day in the woods with friends and family and not take life so seriously. It’s a time to laugh, sing (yes, I’ve been known to break out in a show tune or two), and tell stories. Rabbit hunting is about social interaction. After two months of the isolation that deer hunting requires, it’s liberating to join friends and hounds in the woods.”
I found out about John Jarzynski’s new book “Hunting Dogs and Lessons Learned” with a simple note from him on Facebook Messenger.
