Will make a couple trips with a buddy of mine that keeps beagles. We average about 14 shells per rabbit killed but always have a good time.

Not like in the past. But some. Some friends are hitting it hard.
I’ve got to much going on. Stepping back a little for now

I love hunting late season. You have the woods to yourself, mostly.

Got two hogs Tuesday morning and planning on going this weekend and next. Just walk through the woods hoping to shoot squirrels, rabbits, pigs, coons.

You're not hunting rabbits, you're killing weeds with that many shots per rabbit.

I try to run my rabbit dogs every weekend I'm not deer hunting. If I am by myself, I just let them run and don't worry about killing the rabbits. Love a good chase but they been slipping lately, may have to upgrade.

Had Beagles most of my life. Averaged 1.1 shells per rabbit. If you were from the Jeanerette area and hunted behind a dog named Darby's Jack in the 70's (aka Jack) , you know the dog I'm talking about.

Have been rabbit hunting hard this year! My beagle got to0 old and fat, but my pointer makes rabbit hunting a lot more fun now.

I went stomp some briars yesterday (as well as doing some post season scouting) and flushed four to my surprise (I think one was the same one, so 3).

I had three shot attempts and they each made me look real stupid and came home empty.

Made a good hunt a couple weeks ago in LaFourche parish with my pop, my brother, and my nephew. We got 13 in a couple hours, was still jumping em when I caught the dogs to leave.

Pot routte’d a couple of em when I got back and still have a couple in the freezer.

Went last weekend with a bunch of guys on my cousin’s properties in MS where I deer hunt. Even had some guys in with their beagles from Kentucky and Ohio. It was a blast, these old boys don’t miss often, just not a ton of rabbits bc the property has too much overstory and not enough thick shite to be ideal.

A couple of observations. Those swamp rabbits are a tough out. Ran those dogs’ little legs off. Not like those cottontails in meadows.

And if you feed the crew a big pot of venison chili at the end of the hunt, you are in like Flynn. I got invites to come back, jug fishing on the Reservoir, noodling, moonshine making… I’d call it a good weekend.
