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)
He hit my deffinition right on the head.
I've been to two Brace trials in the last year, and they were both just about like that. Maybe more like four barks. But they only move about ten yards in twenty minutes.
The dogs don't try to follow a rabbit they just tell you where he has been.
BTW I went because I took my father to BS with his old buddies.
I went to a spo trial once. The dogs had to have the rabbit chased out then they walked the line, barking a few times, walking some more. Don't think you could shoot over these dogs because the rabbit is about a half hour ahead. Good if you like to listen and watch and walk with a cane right behind your dog.
To each his own. lol I have had dogs that are slow but not spo slow and fast but not lph fast. Still have fun!
Carolyn,, some of us are a gettin old!!! My wife and I use walking stiks!!! Sure am glad some one explained this cause my Savannah Ain't Wearing no walkie talkie,,, and thats, that!!!
I use a cane also, so watch it!! I use it mainly to beat the brush but it's nice to lean on when they're running. I'm 67 but can still walk pretty good. I talked to a guy that is into those walkers. To each his own. He told me he hunts with them. Then he said it would take them 20 minutes to work across the parking lot we were standing in. I haven't got that many years left to wait that long to shoot!!!!!!!!!!!
Alabama John,
I have no idea but I'll take a guess: the dogs are running so close together that one has head under another belly and lifts first one back legs off the ground. That's what I would call wheelbarreling. Woodrow
