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)
I have never seen this done before or thought about doing it myself, but hat's off to the Arkansas boys who does it! You guys got quick reaction and qaulity aim.
Watch carefully at at 2:50 second. Young man with qaulity aim and awesome victory laugh by camera man. What get's me the most is right before 2:50 the lyrics say's "What this world needs is a few more red necks" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpn1pLFNozg
I'm like you johns and afterwards I would load my dogs and leave .Never wanted to kill a rabbit bad enough to risk my dogs .Them boys shoot way more than I'd be comfortable with.Not saying they're wrong but they wouldn't be welcome hunting with me.
i agree with what john03272008 said,that's just crazy i have never wanted to kill a rabbit that bad the dog's can bring it back around before i try a shot like that,it's to hard to find or raise good dog's to take a chance,for a rabbit
I had a guy do that one time right in front of one of my dogs...dang near ruined her. She jumped the rabbit and he shot . I loaded them right up and have not hunted with him since. That makes me mad...why raise and feed your hounds all year just to shoot the rabbit out from under them right away. Let them do what they were made to do...run the rabbit. Also, I guess its not the law to wear blaze orange in Arkansas? On second thought though, these guys look like they're not concerned with following the law all that much. I much prefer Joeyman's videos.
This is not normal conduct for Arkansas rabbit hunters. Most Arkansas Beaglers would never, never endanger one of their dogs by shooting so close to it. Nor would they permit anyone a second chance to do it again. I agree totally, it is not about the rabbit but about the race and how well your hounds run it. My dogs would have been loaded out in a heart beat and on their way home. Not a sportsman in my opinion.
