Rabbits are challenging and delicious!
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Poor Marty.
 I sure wish you'd shot Mickey before he moved to Florida.

The Nez Perce had some eloquent men!
Good to see you doing your bit to keep them conies in check. They eat deer browse!

So tell me.... what do you look for in a good rabbit hunting beagle pup? I know my way around some breeds of bird dogs but good rabbit dogs not yet. Think I’m gonna try my hand at more small game this year.... thanks in advance.

If I could name a fault of a Beagle it would be that they don't live long enough. I guess that could be said of any breed of dog. Long ago someone said a dog is mans best friend.

Over the years I have had some great Beagles and they were all great rabbit hunters. Not only great hunters but great companions. Years ago I use to keep a rabbit dog outdoors in a pen. The last two beagles I've had I have kept the in the house. Beagles are highly intelligent and make great house pets. By keeping your dog close to you they tend to mind better.

If your looking for a beagle to hunt rabbits check their background. If the come from good hunting stock, then they will more than likely be a good hunter. My last two beagles Maggie and after She passed Dolly. Both of them were very smart and GREAT hunters

This is my current beagle, I got him when he was 6 months old and he was already started. His name is Ruger

Ruger came from Field Trial Champions and he is a rabbit running machine. He is also a loving companion. Since I lost my Nancy, Ruger is a great comfort. He likes to watch TV with me. His favorite shows are rabbit hunting videos on you tube.  :)

Thanks for the replies Mr LaClair.... I’d agree and say Ruger is a fine looking beagle!!! I’ve been talking it over with my wife and after a few years without Gun dogs ( two labs ) who had a excellent track record on birds.  My best hunts have involved dogs so I think I’m gonna get into rabbit hunting and find me a good beagle here in a few months. She and I agreed that after we get a few things settled a bit ( three little grandkids live with us) I’m gonna go ahead and get a pup to work with. I guess I best start looking at breeders with hunting lines and see what I can find. Thanks again Sir
