Chasing Brer Rabbit
Brown Sutphin, a 71-year-old who used to chase rabbits in these pastures as a young boy, still has his beagles, trained only to run rabbits, and not be distracted by deer, coons, etc. Rabbits, once scented, usually run in circles. Brown just opens the cage in the back of his pickup, unleashes the dogs, and wanders around, whittling on a twig while the beagle 'sing' as they chase the rabbits around the meadow. The rabbit this morning, was smart enough to run down the gravel drive, where the dogs lost the scent! All enjoyed the fine Fall morning... including, presumably, Brer Rabbit!
I suspect it would be bad manners to actually eat the rabbit, in spite of those salivatiing jaws!
