Have y'all been running your beagles?

[crackerdave]

I'm a rookie at rabbit huntin' with dogs.I enjoyed meeting some of y'all at the youth hunt last Feb. and I learned some there and some from hunting with Corey. I also learned how out-of-shape I myself am in.I think I need more running than my dog!

I appreciate threads like this one - good info!

I know what you learned from me, if I wait right here
Corey will go in the thick stuff and push one up for
me to shoot

I was able to get out and run yesterday, they did pretty
good had one real good run..Them baby rabbits were
driven them crazy thought, look's like this spot is going
to be ate up with rabbits next year if the varment's
don't get them all.

Was real proud of my young dogs, as we were coming out
we jumped 3 deer right dang in front of us..Some noses
were raised but none wanted any part in them, they
looked back at me like I know what you got for me if
I do

I went out saturday and monday while it was wet.I put down 1 grown dog and 7 young hounds.It was bump-bump on the small rabbits but they sure did pound on the big rabbits.As long as the ground is staying good and wet I'm getting some running time on the young ones.

Ran today in the mist & rain. The older dogs pounded em!
The new pup still wanting to be a pup hanging out at my feet

You know what feel's good?? When your 13 month
old pup finally put's it all together and run's the crap
out of old Mr Cottontail. I took my Bluetick pup Willie
out last night for about 2 hour..It was the same old
story he would hunt for a few min and come back to
me, we never did jump a rabbit so I headed back to
the truck. We are walking down the road and he
started going crazy jumping around like a deer in the
tall grass. He has a real hot nose so I did not know
what he was doing, all of a sudden he let loose and
never stopped he ran that rabbit for about 45 min
when he finally lost him in some thick pine's..I was
so dang proud I called my brother in law & cousin so
they could hear him run.

This is what keeps me going..

Took the girls out this morning they hammered for over an hour and half before mr cottontail had enough and up and disappeared.

Think we are going to have rabbit 101 in the backyard with my young pups this afternoon. See what they think of San Juan Rabbits.

Good deal Corey, thats a special feeling when one runs their first rabbit.
