Was it a nice place?

There's a guy south of Jackson (west of 127 and just north of US12). He'll start them for $75. He has started my last two liters for me. Real great guy.He has a nice pen with lots of bunnies. They start fairly quick. Usually 2 wks is all it takes with him.He keeps them until they are hunting , jumping and running on track. I can PM you his number if your interested in trying him out.

His pen is real nice I think was 10 acres. He keeps the beagles in above ground kennels inside the pen. The kennels aren't anything special. I took my dog there end of febuary and when I picked him up there at end of march the pen was real muddy but what isn't muddy in march. Jim had to leave right after I got there and he let me take my dog out in the pen to see what he was doing and he told me I could stay out there as long as I wanted I saw lots of rabbits in there. I was happy the dog I dropped off was 6 months old and not running when I dropped him off and he was circling rabbits by himself when I picked him up. I would take another to him.

Thanks
