Pygmy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I hunted rabbits yesterday morning with a buddy of mine who owns two beagles. We hunted a property that he has permission to hunt...The owners manage it for deer and have lots of dense brush/ multiflora rose crisscrossed with wide trails on which they plant foodplots .. It was crazy...Nonstop action for 4 hours. The hounds never stopped running for more than a couple of minutes. We do not shoot rabbits unless the dog has circled it at least once, but they were kicking out rabbits as they ran the tracks of others. The laneways provided some sporty shooting because when the bunnies cross them they are moving at about Mach II.. DEFINTELY the most fun I've had with my clothes on in a long time. We ended up with 10 rabbits. We don't normally shoot that many, but as we tried to head back to the truck, the beagles would start another track and we'd have to shoot the rabbit to catch the dogs. After 4 hours there we were two tired old fat guys and two very tired beagles. It was probably the best day I have ever had rabbit hunting, as far as non stop action goes.

Doc Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That sounds like fun. I haven't ever hunted rabbits with dogs. It sounds like it gets pretty exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sounds like a blast, too much snow here for the last few weeks for me and the pup's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
