The American Beagler Forum

We here lots of talk about people going to the UP or Drumund Island to run hare on here. Where else do people go to run them? I know that Up state New York has them, So does Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. HOw about Wisconsin, and Minnesota? Aslo several parts of Canada I have heard. So where have people gone to hunt them and Where did you stay, and Do you or would you go back. Not asking for your seceret spots just general areas. Also for those that go to NY, VT, NH, and Maine how for north do you have to go to find good hare numbers. I know NW Maine had good numbers several years ago when I hunted deer there. Thanks. Good hunting. Brock

Brock, we all go to the UP for one main reason. Public land! Miles and mile of it with usually a good number of hare. No, we don't kill very many because most of us are too lazy to clean them and don't eat them so the ones we do kill go to the locals. Great people up there, beautiful country with easy access. We stay in a hunting camp up there that is located between a great diner and our hunting areas. We can usually run all week long and never need to get gas.

Brock. I go to maine and stay with a friend of min te that has a small aprtment he rents to people he knows. Just covers his expenses for utilities. Real nice guy and a true houndsman. Also has a 40acre pen with hare that will let you run in.

checkout my website http://www.bellmorekennels.com as i have a video from couple weeks ago in his pen running hare.
if you want info on where let me know.
i will be going in oct and march to hunt there this year. God willing
Forgot to add plenty property in area to hunt. Miles and miles of logging roads.

Dont you run the hare in the mountains in WV Brock?

Maine can probably compete with any state with the best hare population. I live in the western mountains and am surrounded by 10 of thousands of acres owned by paper company’s and you have free access to almost all the land, no permits no cost just don’t damage the land. This would be a good year for Maine as the hare population has been on the rise and seems to be a real good year along with ruffed grouse seem to be doing real well too. Google 04970 for a map.

tell him Courtney said hi.

Yea we go to the high country and chase them but we do not have the numbers that most places farther north have. You may go all day and not get one jumped some times around here. We are located right at the southern most end of thier range. Sure wish we had more here close by. Brock

beware of the wolves in michigans up, they like the taste of beagle meat.

I live in the heart of THOUSANDS of acres or federal and state land, and only one other beagle hunter within 100 miles of me. Anyone is welcome up to my place free of charge if ya come in the months of Jan. and Feb. All hare and no cottontail. I'm in northern Minnesota.

No, I just think if people want to come north and run the great white hare they should do it in the cold winter months and get the whole package experience of true winter running .

were i live here in northeast wi. we have good solid hare numbers with thousands of acers of national forest and paper mill land with public accsess.hare numbers here were much better in the 70s 80s when i was a kid,could go out with a few buddys kicking brush piles and jumpshoot 10-15 a day.
