Hey, I am new to rabbit hunting. I have my first pup and am very excited about it. I was hoping someone would know of anybody that hunt rabbits with beagles anywhere close to the Duluth, MN area. Any information would be much appreciated, thanks much. Happy hunting! My e-mail is dannykeller1@juno.com

Danny welcome to the wondeful world of beagles I do most of my hunting around Mora MN it's about 1 drive for me I live by Foley.What's it like for rabbits by you,what do you have for a dog.I'm always interested in hunting new areas and meeting new people if you want here is my # 320 387-3053 I have 7 dogs I use for hunting go every weekend.

I used to live in Wabasha Mn. I have some good friends up there that will help you out alot. Randy Ludwigson is one 608 6853814. Tell him Matt Glomski gave you his #. Also Mike Scoefer he is in St Cloud Mn 320 252 1097. Hope this helps. They are great guys and Hunt Snowshoe all the time.

Steve I have some good friends from ISLE Mn... close to moroa. You might know them. Last name Hughley. I hunted hare up by Malacs Lake and fished it alot when I lived up there.

Guest I've only been here since 97 moved here from Wi so I don't know your friends from Isle,all though I met Joe Ergens by Clear Water he is friends with Mike from St Cloud I remember him talking about Mike a few times,where are you at now do you come to MN any more? Steve

magfish tried to send meesage can't get to work any how my # is in above post give me a call we can hook up this weekend and do some hunting.Steve

I will give you a call. Thanks for the reply.

My name is Tom O'Connor, I live by Litchfield MN. I have hunted with Steve and talked with Danny a little through e-mail. What do you guys think about getting together some weekend up north somewhere and hunting snowshoes? We could find someplace in one of the State Forest's with lots of rabbits and lots of places to hunt. Most of the resorts are hurting for business right now, I think we could find a place to stay pretty cheap. I would be willing to do some scouting and see what I can find if enough people are interested. If you know a good place let us know. Maybe we could make it an annual thing. It would be just for fun, to shoot a few rabbits and see some dogs work. Anybody interested?

That sounds like it could turn into alot of fun Tom. Get ahold of me. I'd be glad to do some scouting up here for hunting spots and lodging. Talk to you later.

Tom sounds like a good plan,don't know if I can produce any spots the ones I had got worked over pretty good by some other hunters not much left.Been doing alot of scouting the last 3wks checked out a bunch of state land no luck,Millelacs,RumRiver,Ann lake,Snake river,Solana,Kimberly,Grayling,can find a few to run but not worth tring to make a party hunt out of any of them.This weekend will take me over to Pine City or Sand Stone or Willow River area hope I can find some.Steve

I've got a couple spots I will try to check this weekend, I'll let you know what I find. Danny, I used to hunt bobcats by Cromwell many years ago. Where there is bobcats there is rabbits. It might be good up by Floodwood also. I'm always looking for that place where you have to wait for the rabbits to move out of the way when you drive down the road and when you shoot one, two more move in to take his place. I haven't found it yet but I know it is out there.
If you do find a spot like that, for heavens sake, don't post it on here!

Just wondering if all of you saw this in Wednesday's paper.
