If there is anyone with beagles in my area and interested in doing some rabbit hunting this fall or winter, let me know. Lots of rabbits on my property and some of the surrounding farm that I hunt. Send me a private message if you are interested.

I got a younger beagle that has tracked and catch rabbits, but I would love to run her with more experienced dogs.
She is a small Lemon Female, and crawls thru brush cottontails have trouble with.
She would get some practice as there are lots of rabbits around my place. Remind me as we get into the fall a bit. I would prefer to hunt once there is some snow on the ground.Quote:

Six months old is just a pup, don't rush, hopefully the little hound will be around for ten years plus.Quote:

When dusty was on the ground he followed drake everywhere drake went, he sniffed everything Drake sniffed. When he was in my coat, he watched everything drake did and ever move drake made.
I have brought the pup out twice so far. He has 5 lungs. When we stopped to leave he gave me the look saying "SERIOUSLY..... We're done!" Great prey drive and the more I expose him I think the better he'll be.
Snow on the ground up here so let me know when you want to go out.
hey if its a mid morning hunt I'd be up for making the trek out towards chesley.
Send me a PM thanksQuote:

Let me know if you want to try him up here.Quote:

It would be nice to have a group and a couple of dogs. You have a lot of bush to cover there.
Welcome any time. I would suggest mid to late January as the snow seems to come and go a lot so far. 10 to 20 mm of rain tomorrow should melt most of the snow.
