Re: Answer me this
I work in a fermentation facility that manufactures DHA and ARA, Omega 3 fatty acids. I have worked as shift leader in a couple departments there, been there 5 years now, here in Winchester. I currently work in the refining plant on nights, also sometimes in the extraction facility. Its an interesting process, and the oil we make is used in anything from baby formula to puppy food. If you buy ProPlan Puppy Formula, it has DHA ingredients advertised on the bag.

Re: Answer me this
I manage a small farm store. It makes me work every Sat, but I love what I do. It is my dream job (if only the pay was better). As my bro said, we have always had dogs, but the transition to beagles is the best decission I have made in a long time. Just love to hear them hounds run!

Re: Answer me this
Well I grew up with 2 brothers and all their friends so I was always a tom boy. Played in the
woods and creeks and loved it all. I was in Girl Scouts and brothers were in Boy Scouts. Later
got into an Explorer Post that promoted HIgh Adventure - caving, white water canoeing,
backpacking and camping. I did it all! Met my future husband at College and and he
introduced me to deer hunting and I've been hooked ever since. I also like trout fishing. 12
years ago we moved to the country and bought a house w/15 acres but it's like owning 30,000
acres because our land is surrounded by Nat'l Forest - Deer and Turkeys galore!!! I decided
living in the country meant we needed a dog so I decided on a beagle. My husband wasn't too
thrilled about my choice but as you guys know we get our way. I'd never been rabbit hunting
so I got on the trusty Internet and started looking at how to train a beagle to hunt. My
dog Beagle Bailey was smart or I was lucky because at the tender age of 4 months "we" jumped and ran a canecutter. He never opened his mouth to bark but he chased that rabbit!!
I've been hooked on beagles ever since. Right now I've got 3 young dogs I'm working with
and am having a blast field trialing in Progressive Pack. I work 3rd shift as a Lab Tech. for
a Company that manufactures liquid polymers (glue!). Been there 15 years. I've got 2
gorgeous daughters who are in College - Kennesaw State and Mercer School of Pharmacy. I've
been blessed also with a 5 year grandson who we're teaching to love the outdoors. My
husband is now retired due to an injury at work 2 years ago. I think this is an interesting post
to see what all you guys do for a living and for recreation.

Re: Answer me this
I'm a paint robotic maintenance tech, and we've had beagles since I was born. I quit for about a year, then couldn't take it anymore, bought some more.
If your hounds aren't Fast-n-Furious! They might as well be barking up a Tree!
Re: Answer me this
I race standardbred horses (Harness racing). 2 years ago I was given the opprotunity to help get a new horse trailer company off and running so I've been doing both. Lately its been traveling the states doing damage control (112,000 miles logged in 07) Got hooked on beagles when I was 9 years old had em ever since with the exception of about 6 years after my divorce. (apartments and beagles don't mix.)
Re: Answer me this
I am the supervisor of plant engineering at a metal container plant. We make cans to be filled with everything from dog food to tomato juice, corn, etc.
My step Dad took me rabbit hunting when I was 7. I was hooked and we have had dogs ever since. The longest year of hunting was at 11 when I had to carry an unloaded gun to prove I was safe. My Dad bought an old house that was surrounded by a couple of hundred acres. I shot my first rabbit on Savage Road and it was history. When my wife and I bought our first house I bought a beagle the same day.

Re: Answer me this
I own and operate a tree service business in Col,Oh and have hunted with beagles all my life it seems like.I enjoy getting out with family and friends
and listening to some good rabbit races.I hunt with my 2 younger brothers mainly and love every minute of it.During hunting season we will hunt 4-6
days a week 5-6 hours a day.Beagling is very additive as that being said i admit i'm a addict.I'm trying to get into trialing so i can put a title on my
favorite hound (SPARK) and meet some new people in the sport and hopefully make some new friends.

I am a sixth grade school teacher. Working with the kids is the best job in the world. I started hunting and going to field trials with my dad when I was old enough to get around, and haven't ever quit.
