Training

Post by Slim »

After a number of years out of rabbit hunting and numerous geographical locations I am considering purchasing a pup to train and hunt. I currently reside in Nevada and there are four different species of rabbit here the Blacktail Jack, Whitetail Jack, Cottontail, and Pygmy. My question is when training a new pup is there any way to train them to run only the game species? Here in nevada the blacktail is the dominant species and considered a nuisance and shot and left in the field this goes against everything my hunter father taught me. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated thanks.

After a couple of days, seeing your post go unanswered, I just wanted to say, We see it, but that's a tuff one. I can't offer any advice on the subject. Do they all taste the same and which of the four were you trying to get the dogs to track?
Dogs don't have to look good to win tittles, but conformation "enhances their chances"!
