DOES ANYONE RUN SWAMPERS IN KY. REMEMBER DAD AND GRANDPA TALKING ABOUT THEM, BUT DON'T KNOW ANYONE ANY MORE THAT HUNTS THEM.

I go to Mississippi each hunting season for a week to hunt them and usually have a blast. It usually takes our dogs a day to get used to running in the water and then they pound good for rest of the week.

Swamp rabbits ............... that is all I hunt here in west KY. lucky to have a few honey holes. 07-08 we bagged over 300.

that is an awsome picture. i would almost hate to show that one off. (looks ALMOST illegal)

No nothing illeagal. When you have hunting this good , you have alot of people wanting to go. One person who goes with us 90% of the time is the local game warden........................................... But yea it does look like alot of rabitts. Your not that far away. You should try and go with us one weekend.

DOES IT TAKE SOME REALLY FAST DOGS FOR THEM SWAMPERS?

Me and my hunting partner run fast dogs. But I meet hunters with all speeds.

I THINK THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT I WOULD GREATLY ENJOY. DO YOU HUNT A LARGE PACK? IS A SWAMPER SOMETHING THAT I COULD RUN WITH A PAIR WITH ANY SUCCESS. ALSO HAVE YOU EVER HUNTED IN THE CLARKS RIVER NWR? I HEAR THAT THE BENTON BOTTOMS PART HAVE THOSE SWIMMING BUNNIES.

We carry 6-8 dogs. But I know some guys from Missouri that hunt swampers with 3, and they kill alot of rabbits. I have hunted up around Benton but not sure if it was NWR.

what do you do with that many rabbits??

None of them go to waste. There are several of us that hunt together and we all like to eat them. What we dont eat ourselves we give away.
