William R. Logan, CA

Les, Jay and I took Chip and Jay's dog's Buster and Patch out to Logan to start the new year. We didn't see much. Jay got a quail, and we ran 2 rabbits, that we saw. Not much barking at all. I was suprised to see that the dogs never really packed up. We got the fist one up and then all 3 dogs worked to move it in a circle. Les had a shot but couldn't take it because the rabbit was between him and Jay. We lost it after that. Chip got the second one up on his own and ran it down into the woods and back. As they came back up where we started, the other dogs got in on it but they had trouble moving it. Jay saw it briefly between himself and Les, then it was gone. Seems once a rabbit got between the two of them, we would lose it. The cover was so thick you couldn't really see the rabbit. Those were the only two we saw.
TEMP: Near 32° rising to around 50°
TIME: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
CONDITIONS: It was dry, but the underbrush was very damp. Seems like it would hold a scent well if the rabbit wasn't moving real fast.
