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)
Our dogs in the north learn to run on all types of ground. Today wet snow, tomorrow dry ground. The scent is still there. The Chinese Crested was tonguing on the rabbit this afternoon- it was almost as big as her. Beagles flushed the cottontail on snow right into the Crested. Two shelties chimed in too. What a hoot!

It depends on if they ever ran on snow before. If they haven't it could take some time if they have I find it usually takes a day to get tuned in. Same as going back from snow to sod, it takes some adjustment time as Norwester has said.
