This morning we had a dandy rabbit flight with Jim Ince and Ryan Cantor aboard. It was windy out in Katy but nothing like two days ago. Farrah was at 818 grams including bell when we headed to breakfast. In the field, Farrah showed little aversion to Jim and Ryan. We attacked the same briar patch we have been recently hawking out there. Today while Farrah was looking upwind and away, a rabbit left the brush and was running fast in the opposite direction. I didn't think Farrah even saw it. I yelled ho ho! Farrah suddenly flew up and made a huge vertical arc and covered the hundred yards quickly. The rabbit performed a fancy jump to evade and all was still. I ran out to find Farrah with both feet on the rabbit in a tussock. A beautiful flight and great catch. If there was anything wrong with the hunt, it was that it was over so fast.
