frantzracing0 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I have a few hobbies that take up all of my free time. Bass fishing, bow hunting and rabbit hunting with beagles. Its right up there with bass fishing for me. I have 3 hounds right now and run rabbits weekly nearly year round. (great rabbit hunting right behind my house) Just curious if anyone else hunts with beagles Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted April 6, 2015 Super User Posted April 6, 2015 Been wanting to get into it in hoping to get a blue tick beagle soon the gfs sister has one and bred her about a month ago so hopefully. I run hounds for fox and coyotes occasionally though Quote
Ronald K Smith Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Growing up my father always had beagles, we hunted and field trialed. We spent every weekend either hunting or trailing. At times we would have as much as 25 dogs( puppies and adults).As I reached my teenage years my interest turn to quail hunting and bird dogs. My father wasn't thrilled by my new interest but he let me own 1 English Pointer. I hunted both rabbit, quail, and squirrel. We banked fish ocassionaly when visiting the grandparents in the summer. After leaving home my passion for quail hunting grew and bass fishing. I'm now a senior and the thrill of being outdoors with my 2 pointers or bass fishing is still a flame in my life. 1 Quote
Matthew2000 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hey my two German wire hair pointers can find some birds and rabbits. And they don't make that beagle howl that drives me insane. Plus we use em for ducks. A little off topic but oh well. Quote
blackmax135 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I have 2 blue ticks that I hunt coons with. But ive never done rabbits before I'm going to have to try it out. Seems like it would be great Quote

Seems like it would be great It's so fun if you know where to look and have a good area. Get good at quick shouldering or hip firing. Them suckers can fly. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 a little different game, but we used to hunt wild hogs with southern black mouth curs. nothing gets the adrenaline going like running some 300-500 pound hogs through the florida swamps with a good pack of dogs! Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 I used to run beagles,.music to my ears. Then I bird hunted behind gwp, gsp, pointers and setters. Nothing like a dog on point every muscle twitching with excitement. 1 Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Ran my champion welsh in several hunt tests and events. Earned his Working Dog Excellent and Junior Hunter titles and a leg on his Senior Hunter. 1 Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 That's a great looking Welsh! Congrats on the titles it takes allot of work to progress that far! 1 Quote
sprint61 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I have 3 Beagles I rabbit hunt with of course and a Feist I squirrel hunt with. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 Yup. I squirrel hunt with feists. Pig hunt with Dogo's, used to use pits for catch dog. The Dogos are larger and do a better job in my opinion. I got a lemon Beagle for my birthday and haven't decided what to use him for yet. We also have a English Mastiff puppy that is half grown and weighs 126. Don't know what to use his overly large self for. I also run coon hounds for coon. I would say I hunt with dogs. Quote

I guarantee he could wrestle em to the ground if you wanna do a knife kill. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted April 8, 2015 Super User Posted April 8, 2015 Put that mastiff to work on some hogs. I guarantee he could wrestle em to the ground if you wanna do a knife kill. Been thinking about it. He is definitely going to be big enough too. Quote
frantzracing0 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Some great looking dogs in here. I do hunt pheasants quite a bit behind some american brittanys (pointers) but its jsut not the same as the music the beagles make. I have one dog, a 15 inch beagle who is otis over blackcreek blood, that hunts pheasants. And actually hunts them well. Last season he put nearly 50 birds in the air. Its cool to watch because you know instantly that he is on a pheasant. Instead of the standard bay style bark he starts to whine and has this short little choppy whine/bark as he runs the track. Once hes on track you better run your a$$ off and get in front of him because hes gonna put a bird up in the next hundred yards Quote
