The American Beagler Forum

I started running @ night after an old timer told me that this was the best way to get my pup to run a track not the rabbit,(sight chase that is) He learned a bad habit in the starter pin.He wanted to stop and look around for the rabbit every time the scent got hot , hoping to see it bolt off. I ca...

I have 6 live traps with bait cages out right now on the farm with live banty roosters in them. Got 4 bobcats so far this week. I try to call every couple weeks for coyote and bobcats. I have shot 7 coyotes since Christmas but the only bobcats have come in the traps

I hate to ever cut a tree down, but have to many cedars starting to choke everything else out. So they said to cut a bunch of the females with berries down to try to slow them down just a little. In the CRP feilds around here they have made everybody go in a shear them of a the ground, and if we get...

I have 160 acres I own close to the house a few rabbits but want to improve the numbers. I have planted wheat in the winter along the creeks and a few meadows. I have been think about cutting down a few large female cedars do you think I should place pallates down brfore dropping the cedars. Should ...

In weatern Okla. they are hunted so hard that just hearing a truck pull into an area their butts are passing their heads getting out there. I've seen men dang near wreck their trucks trying to get ahead of them for a shot or trying to run over them.

I use a TC contender when just running dogs and having fun. When I get hungry for rabbit I use a Browning 2000 20ga. barrel cut down to 20" with a sling and Fiochi golden pheasant 7.5 shot. Short barrel doesn't catch on tree limbs, this combo works well with quail to. I have a little black tan gyp t...

I have about everything available around here, mostly Diamond. I have now gone completely over to Purina Pro Plan. I feed less and less clean up. Dog health and my time is worth alot.

Yes this helps, I have a Tractor supply less than 20 miles from where I'm going to build it. I'll check with them.

Thanks

Where is the best place to buy apron fencing, I need enough for about 6.5 acres, hope to find some in the midwest somewhere.

Thanks

WOW, looks like a great trip. I too sneak in a duck hunt here and there. If
I didn't I don't think my yellow lab would like me, have to keep her as happy as the beagles

I have taken several pieces of 8"x8' irrigation pipe and scattered them around my land. It make for a good escape place from predators. If your out with pups check the pipes for a rabbit if he's in there pick one end up and dump him out for the pups to sight chase :cool: Also if you have a starting ...

I just got him and plan on taking him out tomorrow. He's 1.5 years old and was told by Branko he could flat burn a hare up. Hopefully in time he'll figure it out. How did the first time out go? I to am exspecting 1.5 yr. old female from Branko next week and will be in the same boat with only cotton...

Where is the best place to look up pedigree's. I just bought a female from Branko that is out of Branko Lady Lee x One Tuff Ombre, can't find anything on Lady Lee.

Thanks

After many years of running dogs, I just don't kill that many anymore. But during season I feel like it's good for the dogs to get a little blood on their lips and hair in there teeth at the end of a race on occasion. If not it would be like working all week and not getting a paycheck on Friday

The best dog I own right now is Heavy Branko and Maravic bred and I would pay good money for another one just like him. I am not that big on blue ticks but he has a home here for a long time.
