A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
i loaded up 2 of my 10 month old pups today and took them for a ride..i was intending on riding them around and seeing a deer a shocking them off it if they tried to go after it....well we rode for about an hour and seen no deer!..it is a real windy day here and had rained all morning and was raining when i loaded them up!..but i decided to turn them loose for a few minutes to get some exercise!...(by the way this is the first time they had been out without at least one of my older dogs)..they hunted hard and checked every thicket and brush pile they came to...and about 30 minutes after letting them out ..my littlest pup (lil bit)...jumped a rabbit...but they didnt see it!...it didnt take a second for them to line that rabbit out!...they ran that rabbit for 25 minutes before it went in to a hole...i was very proud of these little dogs..it was windy and very tough conditions..i think i got me some good ones!!
here is a pic of my other pup (littermate to the other two)..they are all doing real well...they have a lot of hunt and desire to find a rabbit..good control..and will stay up with and pound a rabbit with my 2 older dogs...they all started at the age of 6 months and are 10 months now!...the two are a real nicely matched pair....this one was the runt of the litter for a while...then she out grew the one on the left in the other pic...(which is now the smallest at about 12 inches)...and she was a gray color at birth...then turned to a chocolate color...and is now dark but not really black... and she has the yellowish color eyes ..anyway...i am proud of my pups!!
