Dad, Brian, Tanner, and I went out near Mount Pleasant for a bunny hunt. The weather was a little chilly, but we still had a lot of fun tromping through the snow together. We got into a lot of rabbits who tested our speed and accuracy. Unsurprisingly, Dad was the best shot of the day. It was fun to see him at the top of his game.
We were amazed at how many deer we saw. It appears that this is a good wintering area. I hope they can hang on for a little longer when warmer weather will produce the long needed spring food.

While hiking in Indianola, I came across several sets of cougar tracks. These were near a kill and were fresh. I was admittedly a little nervous and started to talk and to sing out loud so that if the cougar was still around, then I wouldn't surprise him.
