Man, whacking the foxes all year has really helped out, we rabbitt hunted today and there were rabbitts everywhere! Buddy came down with 6 beagles, he and my Uncle and I hunted 5 1/2 hours, killed three limits of bunnies and hardly covered any ground at all. We got 10 in a space we usually only get 3-4. Dogs would run one across the lane and two back! ;D
Even had some field bunnies in a CRP strip, normally the foxes get everything out there.
I love hearing the hounds running and baying through the pines, and they did great today. Ran one for a good 45 minutes, by us two loops and several missed shots, before we finally got him.

Never been before. Sounds like duck hunting on land, for rabbits. Good eating?

Went again today, got 7 more. Saturday we had all easy rabbits, I think today we found all the smart ones and runners! Ran some big, wide loops on us and the dogs lost 3 under old buildings and in holes. Still loads of fun - we had ice hanging off the gun barrels from the sleet!!

I haven't been rabbit huting in way to many years. I had a couple of Beagles when I lived in NC and would take them in the swamps now and again, what a blast!!!!! literally!
We used to hunt Jack's in NE UT (up by Randolf) in the winter, they be in the sage brush by the 1,000's! you'd run out of ammo before you ran out of rabbits!!! ;D ;D ;D
