The American Beagler Forum

Brian Westra and I were rabbit hunting the other day when I came up with a novel idea, just wanted to float it to other beaglers before I did anything with it....

I have heard a LOT of beaglers comment on how much they love "beagle music". We all know what this means, listening to a pack of hounds in pursuit. What about this though...what if someone were able to record the sounds of a pack running a rabbit from up close, say at the collar of one of the best hounds in the pack??? If that sound came in clear enough it could be put on a CD and listened to anytime...

If anyone has any ideas on this, please feel free to post......Tony

It sounds like a wonderful idea to me! i'd buy one...

I had Mark Carder record some beagle music for me a couple of months ago. It's great because I can pop it into my CD player in the truck when I want to get the hounds in on a break down... sometimes this can make catching the hounds a whole lot easier !!

thanks to Chuck Kitchell for this posting to the showbeagle list.. I thought it appropriate for this thread ;-)

"A day with beagles means fresh air and exercise with the additional
pleasure of listening to the music of hounds. In the majority of people, the
cry of hounds awakes a feeling of enthusiasm which is difficult to explain and
induces them to follow as best they can."

I recorded mine running a rabbit by me this summer and now have it as a ringtone on my phone.

I used my phone to video them (you can only see a flash of them going by in the brush).
I then e-mailed the video to my e-mail address.
A friend converted the video file to an audio file.
I then e-mailed it back to my phone and saved it as my ringtone.

The only problem is that I get strange looks right before the laughter in business meetings and in public places. I also have to remember to turn it off during a field trial.

If you could send me that audio file i sure would like to have it as a ringtone.Thanks

BlueGrass,
It was a pleasure to meet you a the S.M.B.C
PP hunt on Saturday. Some good conversation, and good runnig hounds.
Good luck with your venture, from the responses I've read, it just might fly. Good Luck.

Thanks Mike, it was good to meet you as well...we sure saw some good running in that Champion class cast didnt we?? I'm sure we will run into each other again, since I now have a reason to trial a little more with Dee Dee taking 6th and getting the points....see you soon.

Tony

BTW, I will try that experiment very soon and let everyone know how it turns out....
