running this year in michigan

[Ron Conroe]

richard i'm not saying you got bad dogs, but on here lately all you here about is speed, and all i was getting at is speed will do you no good in these kind of conditions, it takes a good dog right now if you want to kill some rabbits, unless you want to jump shoot them.

just got in from running man they just pounded the rabbits i could not of asked for better running the snow is getting deep the ones that dont want to run are just getting cought i figure it is the way to ween out the bad genes in the pool of rabbits IT JUST TAKES A HOUND WITH A BIG NOSE AND BRAINS CANT RUN IN MICHIGAN WITH OUT ONE THIS TIME OF YEAR

[Matt Wilson]

not having trouble with the dogs being able to run problem is rabbits dont want to run. just no place for them to even sit out dogs have to dig them out of brush piles then they run straight to next place of refuge

[Danny King]

we went to places were last week there was lots of rabbits this week no tracks at all the ones we did get up ran good till they hit the hole we had some good hounds down to

[Danny King]

finely a great day the dogs hammered all day
all most did not even go out today but glad i did
rabbits where a little hard to find but once they did the dogs ran them like they where tide to them
now if i could shoot straight , owell it was a blast any way
may this a sign of things to come

[upperlimits]

now if only the weather would straighten out.

[chapkosbeagles]

i think all this talk about rabbits not staying up is just an excuse for your hounds losing the rabbit i have had good runs some are getting cought if that is a problum. your dog just have to be fast enough to drive it passed the whole if they are being ran hard your dog can smell them better and they dont have time to think whole all they can do is think run

[bluegrass]

If I could figure out how to transfer video from my phone to my computer I could show you some hounds running one into a hole...its not an excuse when your hound crawls two thirds into the hole and barks treed like a coonhound. I dont care how fast you say your hounds are, they arent faster than a full grown cottontail with a few seconds lead on them. Unless you are running Greyhounds that is....then all bets are off.
