I never see anything about Beagles on the board. Surley with as many swamp rabbits as there must be in the swamps someone owns beagles and hunts them,,,

I had them my whole childhood till an insane neighbor poisoned them and caused a war.

Crazy cat lady 4 beagles - Faxis 40+ cats and 1 fully trained attack Pinscher in self defense.

But that was the end of my beagle days.

Your title led me to believe that you are hunting beagles, which I think some on here actually do during deer season. Personally I love a good rabbit chase and can't wait to get back south or some place where I can have a good pack of rabbit beagles again.

My grandad raised them as rabbit dogs until his health failed. I was too young to get any training in the art before he died though.

It's very hard to find good beagles these days. They're all those little sawed off field trial dogs that run at 1/2 the speed of smell. The fast ones seem to always run deer. Just a PITA now that deer are everywhere.

Always had a pack growing up. Then we moved from beagles and rabbits to pointers and quail. Now, I have a GSP that will lock the frick up on a biscuit. Need another one to back her though. Sad that I don't have the time or the birds to really do it justice.

But there's nothing else in the world like the sound a good pack of beagles makes when they jump a tight sitting rabbit on a cold Jan-Feb morning.

mine did too, but his training regimen was they get two chances to run, or they got lead poisioning. The ones that ran passed on their genes, the ones that did not, did not reproduce. He had some fine hounds though. Not so natural selection.

My beagle is 10 1/2 years old now. would tree a squirrel but I had no rabbits to run.

I hunt rabbits with them occasionally and used to have a few we'd run deer with when we hunted Mississippi. Now we hunt the swamp and beagles would drown, so we use hounds.

I had buglers from the time I could walk until about 5 years ago. Then we started having chirren, moved and whatnot and I let my pack go. That will change this year as my little boy is about thicket thrashing age. As soon as it cools down a little I'm going to build me a beagle palace and restock the herd. I've got access to some killer swamp rabbit spots down around Crowley/Midland. May can have an OBGT rabbit blasting next February..

Be ready to be embarrassed.

Me and my little .410 are doom to bunnies. I always kill the most. Always.
