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)
Heres a pic of there first offical Hare hunt. Hope you guys had fun. They said they have a brand new respect for us Hare hunters. They couldn't believe how big these Hare run. Never being on snowshoes before u guys did pretty good. Hopperhunters Spring Meadow pack did awesome and my Bordercreek pack did as well. I know Derrek favorite spot was the beaver swamp LOL After the 1st day Derreks hounds got the hang of it and started to pack up and run pretty good. Joeys hounds didn't like the snow at all and had a hard time, but its the 1st time ever runnin in 3ft of snow for them. We all got shooting and I think we ended up with 7 Hare. Good job guys!!
Very nice! It is a whole different ball game....I would do it all year long if I could.

That is a great pic! Looks like a fun time had by all.
I see where you boys in Wisconsin are fixing to get socked by another round of snow. Nothing like waiting until you all have Spring Fever to start getting all your snow. lol.
